Question

Coby
I am curious as to the correct weight and food for my 7 Mth English Bulldog...... Our bully was a big puppy with massive paws and from an early age would not eat dry food..... He would leave all his food if we mixed dry food with tinned dog food..... we now feed him tinned dog food and fresh chicken/lean minced steak twice a day.... he is not greedy and leaves food if he does not want it.... He is now 58lbs in weight ... he is not fat and still has loose skin to grow into........ are we feeding him correctly and what is the average weight for a 7mth old bully ?

Thank you

Answer
Hi guys .... How about adding some cottage cheese ( 4% milk fat) to his diet?  Can you give him 1/4 a cup 2 x per day.  Also, you can alternate with some yogurt - 1/2 cup 1 x per day.
Please offer him some beef that is lean but NOT x-tra lean 3-4 x per week.
He is very cute but looks like he could use a little more weight.  
See if you can find a good doggie vitamin supplement.  
Look for a Holistic brand of dog vitamins in your country.

BEST wishes with Mr Coby!
