Expert: English Bulldogs ( Marie ) e-mail me at mpmaltese@gmail.com - 1/8/2010

Question
First of all I appreciate any advise that you can give me.  Our old English bulldog is 7 months old.  We got him when he was 8 weeks old and he was being feed nutromax beef.  The breeder felt that puppy food was not necessary and the vet agreed he was receiving enough nutrients.  However, in the last 4 months he has developed quite a rash all over his face, is irritable and becoming slightly aggressive and overly hyper.  He is constantly biting, though not intentionally, I think it has more to do with the facial irritation.  Not sure what type of food to switch him to or shampoo to use.  I think if we could get the allergies under control his overall disposition would change dramatically.  I don't want to give him the steroid shots and am wondering what other natural options are available.  Please help.

Answer
Hi Lisa,  Sure , I would love to help you with some natural options for your bullie.
Yes - let's make some food changes and add a few supplements:

see here:

Pure Salmon Oil can be found at most pet stores:  please place this boy onto 1-2 tablespoons of salmon oil per day for 4 weeks.  After the 2 weeks drop down to 1 tablespoons per day - always - long term.


Ok, how about you try this kid on some Innova EVO or  Wellness CORE dog food /  YOU should be able to find the Core - please get the Seafood Wellness CORE. ( ocean flavor) ( Pick Wellness over Evo)

Mix your Old food and the NEW food x 2-3 weeks,

After about 3  weeks go 100% to the new food -grain-free feeding with the Wellness or Innova Evo.

GRAIN FREE IS GREAT FOR DOG WITH ALLERGIES
