We often get calls and email's asking us how come our bulldogs have such a lovely shine to their coats and are so beefy looking and it's simply their diets. We feed our males, females and of course our puppies according to their individual needs. It can be difficult as everyone has differant feeding times and diets but the end result is what you see our bulldogs are healthy, happy and have beautiful coats.
Spending more money on a High Quality dog food for your Bulldog will not only increase his/her longevity but also fewer vet visits for skin and internal problems.
COST OF FEEDING A HEALTHY BULLDOG
A 30lb bag of Orijin will last the avarage Bulldog 3-4 weeks and costs approx $70-80.
Royal Canine Puppy 32 will cost $60-$70 a 30lb bag.
DIET FOR OUR KINGS AND QUEENS
Our stud dogs are fed high quality food Orijen. High-protein, low-carbohydrate & grain-free, ORIJEN features high inclusions of fresh regional ingredients in a Biologically Appropriate ratio of 70% meat, 30% fruit & vegetables… and no grains whatsoever.
On top of this our boys are also supplemented daily with 2 salmon and fish oil pills as well as 2 Vitimen Es and a crushed egg mixed with their Orijen 2X a week. We also like to give our boys one serving of brown rice every week with a raw egg and cheese slice with cup of goats milk and honey.
DIET FOR OUR QUEENS
We feed our ladies and puppies(after 4-6 months) Orijin Puppy
Orijin is very high protin food, we only wean our Bulldog puppies on the Royal Canine because it is not reccomend to wean newborns and young Bulldogs onto a High Protin food such as Orijin.. However it is essential to switch over to Orijin between 4-6 months as Royal Canine contains 4 corn ingredients that are huge Allergen concerns which affects Bulldogs Coat,bladder and the fillers will also contribute to your Bully becoming obese which will affect their heart.
we supplimet our females with Cranberry, Folic Acid and Fish oils daily. We also feed cheese and marrow bones daily with each meal. Raw eggs, brown rice, veggies and garlic pills are added once a week to our girls diets. Goats milk and honey 2-3 times a week is also given to our ladies and expecting mothers.
WHAT WE FEED OUR PUPPIES
Our puppies diet is extremely important to us and the development of our bulldog puppies. Puppies under 6 months are fed 3 X a day also supplemented 1X day with Brown rice and 1 large scrambled egg yolk with each meal (please note that young puppies cannot digest egg whites).
Please note we only Recommend Royal Canin for up to 6 months. After 6 months it is best in your Bulldogs interest to switch to either Orijin, Wellness or Natural Balace for long livity in your Bulldog and you will have less problems. This is due to the high volume of Corn which is a well known cause for allergens later on in life.

UNSAFE TREATS FOR YOUR BULLDOG
There are some treats Bulldogs can choke on and if you are not watching it can e fatal to your precious pet. Here is a list of treats we do not recommend you feed your bulldog. A dog has a reflex at the back of the stomach that causes them to throw up things that cannot be digested, but it does not always ensure your dogs won’t be harmed by indigesting the wrong thing.
1. RAWHIDES
including pig ears and small stick rawhides. Bulldogs love them because they taste good but it's not worth the risk. Even if you are watching they can swallow it whole. The problem is bulldogs tend to inhale and not chew and they can get lodged in the throat or worse in the stomach or intestines. Rawhide expands in the stomach and can kill a bulldog who swallows chunks of it.
2. GREENIES
As for greenies, they don’t dissolve when swallowed whole and can get stuck in a bulldog’s intestines. I’ve heard of a case where a Greenie had to be surgically removed from a bulldog puppy’s stomach (at a cost of $3000).
3. ROPE TOYS
These can easily be shredded and you can have the same stomach problems. While most rope toys will be fine with your bulldog you have to watch them when playing and throw away any shredded ropes.
