Hi all,
We are picking up our new bulldog "Butter" on August 31st. He will be 11 weeks old by that time and is currently enjoying (apparently a lot) Purina Puppy Chow that the breeder is giving him. Having done enough reading, I want to switch him to something far better for him. So that presents a couple different questions I have.
1) What are the opinions on the best food for a puppy bulldog given their needs? The stickies didn't seem to address the puppy side of things, only food recommendations from what I read. I seem to have read that perhaps bulldogs as a breed don't need "puppy" food because of protein considerations?
2) Recommendations on how to switch him to the new food? Keep him on the Purina and move it over slowly by mixing in a little?
3) Where can I read more information about how many times and how many cups I need to give him? I believe I read it's a percentage of his current weight which depends on how old he is and the development process.
4) Any supplement recommendations would be most appreciated
Thanks so much!
