Food

I personally prefer a raw food diet once they have been weened off their puppy food but not everyone has time to dedicate to this.  Things to consider when choosing a diet for your bulldog include:

• NEVER EVER give your dog (pup or adult) RAW HIDE.
• Check the ingredients, make sure meat is one of the first listed (high meat content), and avoid food with high levels of 'fillers' such as grains, starches, salt or sugar.
• Puppies need to be fed twice a day so split their daily allowance and feed morning and night until they are at least 6 months.
• Bulldogs can get an upset tummy if they have gone too long without food and may throw up yellowish foam (bile), if they are being fed once a day when they are older. Give them a small snack at the time of day they aren't getting their main meal to avoid this.
• Do not overfed your bulldog, they can stack on weight easily especially after they have been desexed and if they don't have a very active lifestyle.
• Remember to keep track of the amount of treats they get during the day (including when training) and take this into account when allocating their meal portion sizes.
• Learn the list of foods that are toxic to dogs, make sure anyone who interacts with your dog (including children) are aware of these foods.
• Watch your dog for signs of food allergies and change their diet if need.
• Monitor your dog's bowel movements for signs of stomach upsets that may need a change in diet.
• If you feed dry kibble be aware of the dangers of bloat if your dog drinks too much water and/or runs around too much directly after eating.
• Bulldogs have a reputation for being able to clear a room with a single fart, finding a diet which agrees with their tummies can help reduce the occurrence of flatulence.
• Monitoring your dog's breath, skin and fur condition is another good way of working out if their diet is agreeing with them.
• I always add a teaspoon of coconut oil to their evening meals. This helps with shedding and keeps their coats super shiny as well as assisting in their internal wellbeing. A capful of apple cider vinegar as well as mashed pumpkin to their main meal can help with diarrhea or constipation .  
• I feed my bulldogs raw. They are all on raw barf diet and are healthy.
