Question
I purchased a 4 month old English bulldog 2 weeks ago. When I brought her home she was very active and would eat the whole 2 cups of Royal Canine 32 for puppies I was giving her in like 10 secounds. Now I give her the 2 cups and she might eat half or less. The place I bought her from said she was on a schedule of 2 cups in the morning and 2 cups again beetween 4 and 6. So I've kept her on the same schedule. She is pooping the same no diarrea or vomiting but she is alot less active and looks kind of down. My husband and I work so she is alone half the day. I thought maybe it was seperation anxiety but now I'm not sure. I'm really concerned I did take her to the vet to get checked out 2 days after I got her and he said she was healthy got 3 shots and that was it.

Thanks

I love my NuVET wafers
Hi Maribel, BEST wishes on your little English bulldog.
I believe she is eating a little less because of less activity and also repitition of the same food.
HOW about we make a few changes...

Feed her the same brand but add some canned wet food as a topper.
Do 1 1/2 to 2 cups of the Dry kibble and then add 1/4 cup of Innova Puppy food or Wellness Puppy food ( the canned foods)
Mix in lightly to the top of the dry kibble.
Do this at 1 to 2 meals per day.

I love Innova or Wellness, Look for them in your local pet store.

Also, lets get this gal onto a good supplement:  Bulldogs often have trouble with the skin but also hips and joints... A good supplement helps to keep our bulldogs healthy.
