Question
QUESTION: Is it okay to give bulldogs dogfood with soybeans or soybean oil in it? I read they were not suppose to have this.

ANSWER: Hi Marlene, The soy bean oil and other soys are low quality and should be avoided if possible.
Many of the lower quality dog foods tend to add corn, rice and soy.
I would love to help you find a good food for your bullie pup.
Let me know what you are currently feeding - flavor and brand?
