My 13 week old bulldog overweight?? Help please!!

I would feed him 3 times a day with measured amounts... free feeding will cause him to overeat, and with a heart condition you need to keep him on the slim side. He is absolutely adorable...

Thanks for your input.. i will be decreasing to 3 times a day from now on forward

As others have said- I wouldn't free feed. Puppies will eat, and eat, and eat some more. They don't just stop when they are full. Granted, they should burn the calories a lot faster. Best practice is to use specified meal times. Read the feeding instructions on your bag for a puppy his age, and divide it up into about 3-4 meals a day Bullies easily pack on the pounds- we are currently working on helping our 2.5 year old Effie to lose some weight. It's not as easy to lose once they've put it on! (Her issue was my husband giving WAY to much people foods lol). With their weight issues, and heart condition you mentioned it would be best to track how much food you actually are feeding on a daily basis, in case issues arise in the future.

Good luck! You're baby is beautiful.

We are currently feeding him at spesific times of the day
Sometimes he eats alot sometimes less.. but after reading several comments we've decided to CUT down to three meals

Something called VOM. ITS a HIGH quality puppy food here in Norway

You must understand also, that puppy food is very rich in nutrients, it's pretty much like fertiliser so you cannot free feed wth it, as you don't want your bullie nor to be fat, neither to grow too fast, very quick growth is also kind of strain on his heart. So, adjust the amount, best is strictly in grams, not in cups, and he will become better in a month or so.

Thank you so much for your tips! We wil be cutting down to three meals a day. And We'll try to follow the label on the food
