Our bulldog, Tamba, is 7.5 months old and weighs 33 pounds. He had to fight off a minor infection after he was neutered but otherwise has been completely healthy, has plenty of energy (for a bulldog), and loves to eat. He weighed around 11 pounds when we brought him out at 8 weeks old and has been consistently adding weight, though that pace seems to have slowed slightly over the last month or two.
After seeing other bulldogs that seem to be larger, and with people consistently commenting that he seems small, I can't help but question whether we should adjust his food intake or have any concerns about his growth. Tamba is currently eating Merrick Grain Free Texas Beef and Sweet Potato and gets the recommended serving size for a goal weight of 40 pounds, with the extra 25% they suggest for puppies.
Any thoughts? I'm pretty sure I should just relax, as our vet hasn't said anything about his weight and I know he won't be done growing/filling out until he's closer to 1.5-2 years old, but any comments would be appreciated.
