Hello everyone,
I have a 4-month-old English Bulldog puppy. He has been on a BARF (raw) diet, but I would like to switch him to a high-quality dry food.
I live in Greece, so I would really appreciate recommendations from experienced English Bulldog owners. Which dry food has worked best for your puppy and why?
Thank you very much for your help!
Hi,
Freya has a very sensitive stomach along with a none serious medical condition I forget the name of.
She was tried overtime with various diets, hypoallergenic, something else allergenic even a plant based diet with supplements,I was considering raw feeding but that was a no no unfortunately.
In the end I found for her Alpha kibble for seniors either duck and rice or salmon worked great for her along with a sachet spread out over a day of butchers tripe .. a brand i would never recommend as a main diet!
I fed her 3 smaller meals a day and she went off pumpkin and butternut squash so I sprinkled a little pumpkin powder over her meals or occasionally made it as a stock and mixed it in her food. Doesnāt sound too pleasant but she loves it! Itās helped her a lot.
I also agree, use slow feederās, especially the puzzle type ones, I used different types.
Be prepared some are a pain to put food in!
.Treasure hunts I did once a day and I got her a large triangular ball type thing thatās hard to push around that you can put kibble in . That worked really well and was one of the few things that tired her out!
I used in quite a few other similar types and would swap , feeders and the treasure hunt trails around every week as it gave her a lot of mental stimulation and pleasure, along with slowing her eating right down.
For training treats i mostly used kibble but i discovered dried banana chips and they were fine for her.
Whatever you decide ,introduce new foods a very small amount a serving over a decent period of time. Youāre best doing some research on quantity for that first.
