I have tried many types of food throughout
the years. I know the sales pitches regarding
most, too much corn, too many byproducts,
it goes on and on. I have landed on IAMS
and have experienced good luck with it. The
dogs like the taste, look good and have nice
solid poops. How many of you know that
solid poops
are a Good Thang? I am sure there are many
great foods out there and I am not here to
discredit any of them. If you speak to 20
breeders, you may have 25 different opinions.
Below is merely the way I choose to feed
my Bullies.
When you take your Bully home from us, he
is eating (IAMS ADULT) Mini Chunk. (GREEN
BAG)
Adult
food
has
less protein therefore your pup will grow
slower
which is BETTER for your Bullies growth
patterns. (See
Hips & Joint Problems)
We feed our 8 week old pups 6-8 oz of dry
kibble, 2 X daily approx 12 hour apart. If
you notice the poop get soft and/or runny,
skip a feeding. My adult English Bulldogs
only eat 3 Cups (24oz) 1 X daily. My adult
Frenchies eat 2 cups (16oz) 1X daily.
Use common sense
when judging what amount to feed your dog.
If
he looks
fat
feed him
less, if he looks skinny
feed
more.
Our Bulldogs are strong, athletic and
healthy, as opposed to
fat, lethargic and
lazy. Each time I go to my vet I
see many unhealthy overweight Bullies. Usually
there are a minimum of 20 Bulldogs in the
waiting room at any given time.
Remember,
over feeding can be extremely hazardous.
A Bulldog
will eat until he is gorged
if you allow him to. More Bulldog problems
occur due to over feeding rather than
underfeeding. Overfeeding also can cause
soft or liquid stools. "Yuck"....
If Bully gets runny, skip his next feeding
and see if it changes.
Since Adult food does not have the same
amount of vitamins and minerals as puppy
we recommend to supplement with a really
good multiple vitamin. We use NuVet Labs
(Nu Vet Plus and Nu Joint Plus.) See our
products page for further information on
ordering these Vitamins.
We do not claim to know everything, but we
have done this a time or two.
