Hi there,
I'm getting my first english bulldog puppy in about five weeks from now. I've done lots of reading and research on the breed but still am confused on what my dog should eat. I've grown up with flat coat retrievers and they aren't as sensitive to food as I've read bulldogs to be. I bought a bag of Blue Wilderness Puppy food because in one of the puppy books i have bought it said its important to make sure the top three ingredients were a type of meat, and at the store this was one of the few meeting those requirements. I also made sure it had no grains because i've read of food allergies associated with some bulldogs and grains. I have talked to my breeder, and the only issues the parents have had have been mild skin irritation, which i have read can be avoided with proper diet? So after reading articles on raw diets, different puppy foods, amounts of food to feed, I have come here to try to figure it all out for once. I feel like I've read so much conflicting information, and I don't want to feed my pup the wrong stuff.
Also, I've read that you can feed the puppy as much as it will eat up to 4 times a day up to 4 months old? As long as puppy is active. I've also read that adding a teaspoon of cottage cheese, and a teaspoon of olive oil can be beneficial as well...
