Supplements?

[MENTION=4325]Corlando465[/MENTION] can you tell me the name of what you give your bully and where you got it?

[MENTION=4450]Lily122511[/MENTION] I have been told that a slow transition is always best. You could try 25% new food with 75% of the old for a week, then 50%/50% for another week, then 75% new food with 25% of the old for another week until you are giving 100% of the new. I think it depends on the dog because I don't go through each of these "percentage stages" for a whole week...usually just a few days with each phase since Tonka doesn't have too sensitive of a tummy. You can monitor his reaction and if he is getting sick or has really loose stools you can cut back and some others here could give better advice on what to do if that's the case. We are almost done switching Tonka to the Beef Fritatta as well and so far so good! Good luck!

[MENTION=4450]Lily122511[/MENTION] Take a look through this .. it's our bulldog food recommendations with each food been given a rating. That may help you .... http://www.englishbulldognews.com/forums/content/dog-food-ratings-219/


I too use the Fromm Beef Frittata ... it is in their 4* range and you can change inbetween the flavours of the 4* range so you can have beef, then maybe the duck, then pork etc.

Do the transition from your current food to the new food slowly. I always replaced a quarter of a cup at a time, and changed the amounts every few days. Just keep an eye on the poop consistency ... that will tell you if the new food is agreeing with your bully or not, and will also tell you if you are making the change too quickly.

The only supplements I give are the NuVet. Otherwise we add some Grizzly Salmon oil to their food - it's good for their joints and immune system. Things such as cottage cheese, yoghurt etc ... I consider them to be more treats/topping to their food more than anything else!


If I do get treats it is usually frozen green beans, frozen broccoli, frozen cauliflower, frozen blueberries, fresh carrots, fresh cucumber and fresh celery. If I buy treats then its the Fromm grain free.

I think I'm going to try Fromm Beef Frittata. Do I just give her half new/ half old (dog food) for a week or so? How should I make the switch?

Break it down over about two weeks....

1/4 new and 3/4 old
1/2 new and 1/2 old
3/4 new and 1/4 old
all new
