Feeding
# Feeding your Continental Bulldog well
Switzerland
The Continental Bulldog needs a complete, digestible and well-balanced diet to support its musculature without promoting overweight. The quality of proteins, control of energy density and regularity of meals matter more than the raw quantity.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Puppy: Growth must remain steady, with a diet for a medium-sized puppy and weight monitoring to avoid excess.
- Adult: The ration must support musculature and activity while maintaining a lean silhouette, without overloading the joints.
- Senior: With age, it is necessary to monitor weight more closely, joint comfort, and the adjustment of energy density.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
Premium kibble or a balanced home-prepared ration with the advice of a veterinarian are well suited to this breed. The goal is to provide good-quality animal proteins, an appropriate mineral intake and energy consistent with its activity level, without excess that would promote weight gain.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The daily ration must be calculated according to ideal weight, age, sterilization and exercise level. In this powerful but compact dog, it is better to finely adjust portions and regularly reassess body condition rather than feed by eye.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 20 - 23 kg | 343 - 471 g | 2 |
| 23 - 27 kg | 390 - 535 g | 2 |
| 27 - 30 kg | 436 - 598 g | 2 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any change in diet must be gradual over several days in order to limit digestive disorders. It is recommended to gradually mix the old and the new food while observing stool quality, appetite and digestive comfort.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Clean, fresh water must remain accessible at all times, especially after exercise or during hot periods. Frequent refilling of the bowl helps maintain good daily hydration.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats should remain occasional and included in the calculation of the total ration. It is preferable to choose small, simple, low-fat rewards, especially for a dog that quickly learns to beg if those around it lack consistency.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Weigh the ration rather than feeding approximately.
- Split into 2 meals per day for better digestive comfort.
- Reduce treats if activity decreases or after sterilization.
- Check the body shape each month and adjust portions if needed.
### Never feed these foods
As with other dogs, chocolate, onion, garlic, grapes, avocado, cooked bones, alcohol, yeast dough, xylitol and very fatty or very salty foods should be avoided, as they can cause poisoning, severe digestive disorders or metabolic damage.
