Hello Everyone! We just joined, and look forward to getting to know you all.

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 Friday, but doesn't seem to be working so far. Mum has always fed me Rachel Ray Nutrish JUST 6, with some Hills Science Diet wet food mixed in. She also started giving me CBD oil, to see is it helped my joints and skin - but nothing seems to have helped much. She said she is now going to order me some new food, from the 6 star recommendations, and we'll see how we do with that. I eat a lot of Milk Bones. Are they bad for me too? Mum is suggesting we get expensive treats and I get less of them, but I am not sure I like that idea!!!:

Welcome handsome fella! yes,mum needs a better food... no chicken and grain free. And, unfortunately, she is also right - Milk Bones are bad... YUK!
Better treats are frozen greens beans, Pure bites, Stella and Chewy meal toppers, Fruitable minis -- to name a few

Hello and Welcome! Your a very handsome fellow.

Hello Meaty...you're a very handsome boy & could pass for 6. Time to move on from the Milk Bones. Try some of the smaller sized treats from Honest Kitchen, Smooches, Nuzzles, Cuddles, and Pecks. Size does matter too. Keeping weight in check on an older Bulldogs is very important...better for joints, muscles, and Heart!

Welcome Meaty!! Perhaps you should try a good quality, grain free dog food! Better quality foods are usually in specialty shops, or online-not grocery stores.
You are quite a handsome boy, Meaty-looking good!

Welcome to EBN. Jewel and Bentley get Fromm's treats as they are low in fat and grain free.

Bentley has allergies and is now on immunotherapy. His allergies are due to environmental factors...trees, grasses, and a few other allergens.

Welcome Meatball Christopher! You are a very handsome lad!
As others have said, dump the milk bones and look for grain-free food. My Monty loved blueberries and strawberries as a treat (but never give grapes, ever).

BTW, as a fellow Brit, I love the harness!!
