Puppy Food Questions

[Lilmaximo]

Hello Everyone!

I have a 6 month old English bulldog. I was just wondering what you guys feed your own little puppies?

I am currently on Purina Pro Plan for the sensitive stomach formula. Which I want to transition him out of and switch him to something else.

I’ve been trying to do research and I really don’t want to do Royal Cains. I bought a small bag of Taste of the Wild High Praire Bison-Venison version. I gave him a few pieces and he seems to like it.

Just curious as to what you guys feed your own English bulldog puppies. Thank you!

i fed that line of proplan for a while and I gotta say, Millie did pretty great on it.

We are now feeding “open farm wild caught salmon & ancient grains recipe” and both girls are thriving on it.

I also add some stuff… I let the food soak with 1:1 (by volume) near boiling water for 10 minutes before I feed, at which point I mix in brilliant salmon oil, mushroom matrix skin and coat, and Flora4. The temperature of the water helps it soak in faster. The girls don’t drink much the rest of the day.

If you read the food threads on EBN , you will notice health, especially skin issues is mostly from what the owner feeds their dogs. Never fails, 3/4 (if not more)of the time, Royal Canin n Science Hill will be mentioned. IMO, totally to be avoid. Also, not a big fan of any Purina products. But that’s me, I avoid any products that has the possibility to harm my dog’s health.

Thank you! I appreciate your opinion! And that’s what I like to hear. I want to hear from the sources of fellow bulldog owners first hand on what they feed their little puppies/pups. That’s why I want to hear from you guys on products they use so I can try to avoid. Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your insight! Please let me know if there’s any other things I can do or avoid to help give my pup the best long puppy life.

Thank you! Do you also add native products?

He’s very young. Transition into a food you are comfortable with, that he does well on. Once that is established start adding in probiotics, etc slowly and one at a time.

2 of my dogs are fed raw and 2 of them get Open Farm with ancient grains.

We start feeding adult food at 6 months. For kibbles, Zignature Pork. For RAW, we prefer Stella and Chewys frozen Duck patties.

We feed raw.. local company. I agree with others.. avoid RC and Hills. I’m also no fan of anything you can buy in the large chain stores like Iams, pedigree, purina. I’m in a FB group and the issues people are having, it’s very sad. Some may have good/great results on these brands but you have to find what works best for your baby.
