diet

Hi everyone. This is my first post - I tried searching but could not find anything relevant. My (soon to be) 8 year old English bully Luna suddenly stopped eating from her bowl about a week ago. She will eat only if hand fed. This was a very sudden change in behavior since her meals had...

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...

After reading the posts here I’ve decided to switch Mr. T to a raw diet. I signed up for the Darwin’s Natural Pet “Natural Selection” line of meals. I will keep everyone posted on Mr. T’s raw food journey. Any suggestions re the switch are appreciated. Thanks!!!

Hello my fellow EBD lovers. Recently brought home my new baby boy Nugget. Slowly weened him off food Breeder was feeding him (Victor) to Hills Science Diet chicken and brown rice flavored because my vet recommended. He keeps having wet poos. Kind of like soft serve ice cream. No other symptoms...

Hey all, I just noticed my puppy's belly started to get rash-like redness and also some dark black spots. I haven't changed anything in his diet, but he has gone into the lake a few times now (had a few hot days). The only time when I notice him scratching more than usual is immediately after...

I have 2 British bulldog puppies now 12 weeks. Louie & Frankie. Both brothers. I was looking for advice on feeding. I started introducing raw food into their diet at. 10 weeks however Frankie developed an infection and his poo’s had blood in them for a good while. The vet advised me to stop with...

Hello! First of all I’m still figuring this website out so hopefully this posts correctly lol, but I’m a first time English bulldog owner, he’s an absolute terror. I love him but he definitely gives me a run for my money. I just have a few questions regarding his care, we are feeding him Hills...

Shirley has vomited a small amount of what looks like undigested supper twice this week. It happened both times between 3-5am (yeah I hardly sleep). She's not lethargic nor showing any signs of not feeling well, no temp, eyes clear, no runny nose etc. I feed her bfast at 6:30am and supper at...

I am at a loss! Started last Thursday night/Friday morning, my hubby came home early morning to find poo in Gilbert's tent (little pop up tent we use as a kennel for nighttime and when gone..he loves it!). Ok...Gilbert has not pooped in his kennel and/or tent (have both..just different areas of...

Hello, our bulldog Huey Lewis has been having serious issues with eating and stomach issues. The vet has tried many things but we thing it is simply his diet and immune system. We started him on Royal Canin GI wet food but we ran out and it takes many days to get our vet to approve it. What else...

Hi all. Our 8.5 year old guy has been having issues for a couple months. It first started with occasional vomiting 30 min to 2 hrs after meals, and an increase in vomiting in the morning prior to breakfast. He had always done that every once in a while but it started happening more. Also, he...

Hi everyone, we have just recently changed Dudley to raw food to hopefully help with what the vet thinks is probably arthritis in Dudleys hips. We first started him on a “home cooked 100% fish” diet which he was on for three weeks but his energy level was at an all time low to the point of...

I started Niko on a raw diet about two months ago. Initially we started him on rabbit and he did great, his folds cleared up, his nose got better, his fur started growing back. We did only rabbit for a month, then we tried alpaca and that irritated his folds right away and he got bumps...

So, as you all know, I was having issues with Brisket and his tear stains, some redness, and some itching on his skin. We tried using witch hazel, tear stain cream, switching from grain to grain-free food, adding allergy medication, and no luck. He's 4 months old, and my husband and I have made...

Hi. My dog, Otis, has urate stones. He had two surgeries to remove them recently and I found out last week that some stones are back. I switched to Hills U/D and more water intake with food. I'm desperate to find anything else that will help him to avoid surgeries. Clearly, he cant have...

Need help from the food gurus here!! Over the past several weeks, we have had Jackson at the vet with eye infections, and a weird lesion on his eye lid. During his first visit, the vet thought it was allergy related. She thought his feet and in between his toes looked red. He never licks his...

Hello everyone, I am new around these parts. I have a 7yr old English bulldog (Hercules) who has been under the care of family in Florida for the last 18 months due to me breaking my femur. Because of the lack of exercise and possible over feeding plus various table scraps he has put on a TON...

Hello, I am so happy I found this site as I am always looking for more information on how my EBD can live a happy & healthy life. My EBD, Nikolás, turned two years old in April. He has always been extremely active and wild! He keeps us all on our toes. 😃 However recently i have been really...

She is old. But still spunky. Still digs holes in the garden. Still bullies her 10 year old brother. She turned 13 last week. And it's starting to show. Yesterday, she stumbled on her hind legs walking on the uneven pavers. This worried me greatly. We've tried to maintain her and her...

Hey all, during my time in search of an EBD, I can across quite a few EBDs looking for forever homes and thought I could post some to see if anyone in their vicinity might be able to help. I could not post on any of the adoption threads and felt bad for this guy! He seems so sweet, but...

I would appreciate some thoughts as to what could possibly be going on with Buster. Occasionally, he will vomit in the middle of the night. I say vomit, it could be regurgitation, as I have never actually seen it happen. It is undigested food, hours after he has eaten. He seems absolutely...

Would a raw diet help allergies? My dog gets pink in between toes with the occasional blister, head shake. If so, is there a good website to buy in bulk?

Best diet for any pet is definitely a raw diet. But it’s not for every owner. So.......Here’s a site that tells you which kibbles are best. As most knows if my dogs weren’t on raw definitely it would be Acana. This site breaks down what’s in the bags. Also if you go to the BOTTOM of the page...

So thebfirst EBD I owned had all sorts of food allergies and had a constant troubles sticking to one brand that would work long enough. Just when you thought hurray! it would quickly damn! I decided I would try the Raw diet craze, yesterday I picked up my 10 Week old male from the Breeder. I was...

Proud new owner of a 10 week old Male English bulldog Chubz. This is my Second EBD and have a bit of experience with the breed but my first time starting the B.A.R.F diet. I will start a new post on the topic but I hope to make new friends and help any anyone with any knowledge I may have.

We know that red meat is bad and can be cancerous for humans, cant it be said for dogs too? I wish there was also some common knowledge on if Grains (Rice), Sweet Potatoes, Certain or all Meats are not great for their diet.

Hi, I have a one year old Olde English Bulldog. Over the past 8 months, we have been trying to find the best food for her with no luck. I have come to the conclusion that the only way to resolve her bowel issues is to make her home cooked food. But I have no idea how to do it or where to start...

So yesterday Harvey started having head tremors.. he did it about 6x yesterday evening and just again this morning. I am taking him in for a work up in 2 hours but man am i freaked out. I have seen many posts of EB's experiencing this and i know there isn't always anything you can do.. I have...

Hi, I am new to this page, but have been reading some threads and thought it would be a great way to get some advice. We have a new bulldog puppy, now 13 weeks old and have been taking him on short walks around our house - nearby fields and woods etc. 2 days ago, he didnt want his breakfast...

Hi all, So crazy story..... Took my 4 year old bulldog to vet for his very first hot spot on his cheek. I thought he had gotten bitten by something and we would not eat his dinner. Cheek was a little swollen and he had never had one before, so I had no clue. They would not let us come in...

We have a 6mth Old English Bulldog which we've had from 9wks old and she's been fed a raw diet for the last 5mth. She seems in perfect health and has a good coat and lots of energy, regularly walks 3/4 miles but not everyday. We have recently looked at a different raw food supplier as our...

I have a 7 year old male bulldog, Woody. Over the course of the last year, he's shown some odd behavior. It used to be once every few months. And since the beginning of this year, it's at least once (if not more) a week. He'll start walking really slow, breathing a bit strongly through his nose...

Chunky is back to being his normal goofy and sweet self after months of being lazy all the time. I am not sure what caused the inactivity but wondered for a while if he wasn't depressed being away from my nieces and nephews that kept him active all the time. He has been living with me full time...

Just started Max on small batch diet, he was on acana duck/pear for a long time. Transition has been going smooth, well I went cold turkey but he seems to be doing alright. Has anyone ever used this?

We get asked often what pet insurance is the best. I personally have a credit card for my 2 dogs as I believe it’s the way to go. Especially if you start off your puppy on a healthy diet n healthy treats, you shouldn’t be using insurances or credit card for a very long time. If you buy a dog...

Very well explained how humans needs meat in their diet. (Clean meat that is) These Vegan people, well the only thing I always said, it’s simply a fashion “in” thing nowadays. Vegans are in for a surprise if they don’t walk up n smell the coffee. :( https://realfarmacy.com/fake-meat-warning/

My name is Meatball Christopher, and I am 10 years old, living in Colorado with my mum (who is English, as you can tell!). My mum has loved browsing your site, and seeing how you all share your tips and advice. I am having some itchy problems at the moment. I had a shot from the vet on...
