What to Feed a Bulldog Puppy

By Megan Hellam

Instructions

Feeding Schedule

Step 1:
Feed a 2- to 4-month-old puppy four times a day. At 4 to 6 months old, feed three times a day; at age 6 months or older, feed twice a day.

Ingredients to Avoid

Step 1:
Bullwrinkle.com cautions against feeding your bulldog kibble that contains soybeans. Do not allow it to eat chocolate or onions, regardless of age.

Types of Dishes

Step 1:
Food and water dishes should be stainless steel. They are less likely to hold bacteria as many plastics do.

Fresh Water

Step 1:
Make sure your puppy has continual access to fresh water. Bulldogs are sensitive to heat, so they must stay well hydrated.

Puppy Foods

Step 1:
Your dog should stay on a puppy version of kibble for the first year, because it has extra protein and calories that are essential for growth and development.

If Your Puppy Will Not Eat

Step 1:
Try mixing dry kibble with warm water, plain rice or canned food. Also, stick with the same kibble the breeders were feeding, and mix in the type of kibble you are transitioning to slowly.
