welcome --welcome, and merry xmas-what a gift~~~
I am thrilled for you. It seems like yesterday when I was waiting for my first, and that was 12 years ago. I am out in Oregon with my 4 current ones. have gone through the first 3 I rescued as sibling pups in 2000. it hurt when I lost them one at a time, but have added more to love as the numbers went down. and I like to give the ones that probably wouldn't get adopted a furever home that is secure,one level ,and doggy doors to come and go as they please. with a freeway to the mommy bed (humans call them ramps)
I love the old and handicapped, the are just like me!! LOL!! any way. about the food . please do not put her on natures variety Insinct, unless you know she is alergic to grains, because very good chances that it is to high of protein for most Bulldogs and then you will have hot spots to deal with . and the only dog food that has a written guarantee to have the pre and pro biotics(yogart like cultures) (and it is a live culture) is Fromm dog food.<www.frommfamily.com> they are a family owned and operated pet food company that obtains the muscle meat daily for the food and (muscle meat is the steaks and roasts that we buy)not by products that are in 99% of the food, and we get those fogs into rescue 4 to 6 years later when the dogs has life long medical issues. and yes most of the pet food brands have been bought out be giant corporations to make the most profit they can. If you feed your Bulldog the right type of food , keep her clean,(and simple baby shampoo is all you need )the PH balance is just fine. no need for pet shampoos that cost more and are harsh. keep her face and tail, private places, and paws, washed daily , she will be healthy, happy and will live to age 12 . with out you having to go to the vet more than your own DR! and no tide soap for laundry unless it is free and clear. all fruits and veggies are great for snacks, the more raw the better , and the younger the are introduced the better. (((just NO GRAPES/RAISINS. OR ONIONS)))
NO DOG TREATS are really OK for Bulldogs. to sensitive to most ingredients. like corn, soy, and a gazillion other things, ask some of the folks on her that are from your area, if there are any or get back to me and I will contact rescue bulldog owners in your zip code that have proven Bulldog vets in your zip code area. Bulldogs are 180% different than any other breed, and most vets think that they know bulldogs when they have in fact practiced on a pit /bulldog mix that will have none of the issues a pure bred does! and do not be afraid to meet some of these vet clients. the xrays look different, the heart also , and medical anesthesia protocol are very different. so having a proven Bulldog vet is a must. if you have any questions please do not hesitate to email me or call. Natures variety has been fed to Bulldogs for years with good results, But we have found in the last few years that the pre and pro biotics play a major part in the immune system, as well as how hot and how long the food is cooked, and Natures variety has not stepped up to the plate just yet to address those issues in writing.and cooperation with owners and research groups at this time. and fromm is one of two companies in the USA/Canada who has , with a nutritionist on staff at all times to answer all and any questions from the public. and this is why I recommend it . and feed it.
