Hello,
We just lost our six year old English Bulldog earlier this spring. He was a good boy but had many health issues, The worst of which was epilepsy. He required 5 pills twice daily on a pretty strict schedule to control seizures. He also had chronic ear infections and developed dry eye late in his life. He came from a questionable breeder but we still loved him despite all his health issues. We had a strong bond with him and heās truly missed.
Everyone has told us we are crazy to get another Bulldog but we feel something is definitely missing in our home without a dog. We love the personality of the English Bulldog. We had the opportunity to put a deposit on another pup that will be ready in two weeks. This is a pretty respected breeder and we are hoping for a healthier dog this time around. We thought we were going to take a break from having a dog for a while but our kids are all grown and we miss having a dog around. This pup wonāt replace the boy we just lost but will help fill the void I think.
The main reason I searched this forum is to research some feeding options for the new pup. Iāve even considered trying a raw diet but Iāve never done it before. Hopefully I can learn something about a good Bulldog diet and maybe in return I can someday help someone dealing with an epileptic Bulldog. We learned a lot over the 5 years our boy was having seizures.
Thanks for having me
