Hi I am new to the forum, and wanting some advice from fellow bulldog owners.
My male english bulldog is 8 months going on 9 months. In the last 3 weeks he is eating a fraction of what he used to eat. I am feeding him on a high quality puppy biscuit diet which he has always had.
Previously he would eat around the recommended food weight, which worked out at around 3 cups of food, split into two feedings.
He now only eats less than 1 cup a day, and will not touch his breakfast.
I went to the vet when he first started doing this to make sure he was ok, and the vet said that it is just him now not needing all the food as he is nearly fully developed; and for me not to worry.
At the beginning I also tried him on other dry foods as I thought he may have gone of his current one, but he was the same with all of them.
I suppose my main concern is that he isnt eating the recommended amount of food a day, and I don't want him to be loosing any weight!
Has anybody else had a similar experience, is this normal?
Thanks
Jordan
