Is my bulldog to thin????

[Joelgreen11]

this is tank hes 2 years old and he sure eats his share of food lol. We keep him very active with walks and playing but people are always like hes thin for a bully. I never wanted him to get over weight cause of the risk of more health issues but hes a big boy weights 65 pounds at his last check up and also the vet gave him a 4 out 5 for his body type which is good

Can you take a picture of him from the top? He looks good from the side

I think he looks fine in that picture. A picture from above would be a better indicator of telling if he looks too thin though.
Mostly though you want to see a waist from above. Also you want to be able to feel the ribs, but not visibly see them when looking at him. I can't see his ribs in the pic.

this is the best I could do cause he wanted to go outside. I can feel his ribs but u cant see them. those arnt his ribs there his wrinkles lol. Thanks for the advice

I think he looks good! Here's a pic of HRH taken a few months ago. She's a small girl, but perfect at 40 lbs. for her frame.

He is very wrinkly there . I am on the fence with this I really like the fact that you keep him on the lighter side. I agree that it keeps away health issues but I am wondering if a couple more treats a day might give him some reserve if a health problem came up. Just my opinion. He is beautiful!

Thanks for all your advice. He gets fed plenty of good and treats. His not the kind of bully that just lays around all day always very active and sometimes to much. He's a little trouble maker lol

He looks great to me, just right, you don't want a fat bully. A lean bully is a healthy bully.

He looks great! After he is three you will notice he will pack on the weight a lot easier because he will become a bit more lazy, so it's best to keep him trim.

I also think he looks good If he's not neutered he will be more toned and muscular and if he is neutered you are lucky that he's not packing on some fat One of our girls are on diet food cos she has had hip operations and are less active due to age, it's a balance with their food, lots of things playing a roll
