Well Gio's came from North Carolina,my son (who is a marine) purchased him and could't take care of him so he left him in my house when he came over for the holidays. Since I have 2 other dogs (a black lab and a miniature Schnauzer) we are taking care of the puppy between my daughter and I. We recently took him to the vet and suggested to feed him more often. But like I posted in another thread I believe the food I am giving him is not working for him. Hope to receive some help from here. By the way Gio is 5 months. We are having tons of trouble training him, but we are patient. Thanks again.

:welcome: what an adorable FACE! I agree, he does look thin and I'm so glad you are looking for a good food. The right food is tricky. But you'll get lots of help here. When Jake was young, we fed him 3 times a day...1/2 cup each time...what are you feeding him and how much..how often?

Hello and welcome to EBN and the wonderful world of bulldogs.

Your little guy does look on the thin side -- feeding him 1/2 to 3/4 cup 3x a day will help on the weight gain.. Also finding the right food can sometimes be a long road --- we feed Fromm Beef which is an all stages food. also, you can read the food recommendation/ratings article on the nutrition forum page

Any problem you have with him you can talk freely here. He looks like he could use some calories. I see you are taking care of him between you and your daughters, he could have some emotional problems adjusting to a regular routine. Where does he sleep? [MENTION=4082]mimapr[/MENTION]

:welcome: to EBN. I think I caught you in another thread too. Bullies are trainable but they are quite stubborn too, it's part of their breed. Jump right on in, there's always someone to help you along the way. :)
