Feeding
# Feeding your English Bulldog well
Great Britain
The diet must support its muscle mass while avoiding excess weight, which worsens respiratory and joint difficulties. The ration is chosen according to age, weight, activity, body condition and any possible medical needs.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Puppy: Choose a complete formula suited to rapid growth and divide the ration into several small meals.
- Adult: Adjust the ration to reduced activity and closely monitor body condition.
- Senior: Have the energy intake and digestibility reassessed according to mobility and health status.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
Complete, high-quality kibble, adapted to morphology, age and activity level, is a practical option. For the puppy, the formula must support rapid growth without excess energy. Any home-prepared diet must be formulated with a veterinarian.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The daily amount depends on the energy density of the food and the dog's individual profile. It must follow the manufacturer's guide, then be adjusted based on weight and body condition with the help of the veterinarian.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 18 - 20 kg | 336 - 461 g | 2 |
| 20 - 23 kg | 341 - 468 g | 2 |
| 23 - 25 kg | 373 - 512 g | 2 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any change in diet must be gradual over several days by mixing increasing proportions of the new food with the old. A slower transition is preferable in the event of loose stools or digestive discomfort.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Fresh water must remain available at all times, particularly in hot weather. Consumption and breathing must be monitored after walks, without imposing exercise when the temperature is high.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats should remain occasional and be deducted from the daily ration. Small, low-calorie pieces are preferable for training so as not to encourage weight gain.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Weigh each portion rather than estimating it by eye.
- Use a suitable bowl if the dog eats too quickly.
- Avoid large meals just before or after an outing.
- Check the weight and body shape each month.
### Never feed these foods
Chocolate, grapes and raisins, onion, garlic, xylitol, alcohol, caffeine, macadamia nuts and cooked bones should be avoided, as they can cause poisoning, digestive disorders, internal injuries or neurological damage.
