QUESTION: I have 5 mo old English bulldog (2nd bulldog for us). This one eats rocks. We are in a rental home that has landscape rocks everywhere. We fenced off an area so that he couldn't get to the rocks but he has been jumping off the deck now to get to them. The most important thing here is he had surgery about a month ago where they removed 9 landscaped rocks from his stomach. I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions? I hate to say this because I love him to death but I think we are going to have to get rid of him to save his life. Help?

QUESTION: I have a now 7 month Old English Bulldog puppy. I have been feeding her a little less than a full cup of dry food, and about a tablespoon of wet food three times a day. I was told to mix in the wet food because she eats SO FAST, and it would "slow her down". She eats everything in a matter of minutes!! She's a GREAT weight for her size, as I'm told by my vet. She weighs about 32 lbs (and looks very lean). She gets ALOT of exercise with other dogs, and my family, My question is, should I start decreasing her food to only twice a day? How much should I be feeding her????? Thanks for the help! (my vet isn't very helpful, looking into getting a new one). :)

Hi, I bought my Enlish a bowl called Brake Fast. It slows her eating and it is a life saver.

Our bulldog is now 2 years old when she was a puppy she would eat so fast the food would get stuck in her throat and she would choke a little, my vet said to put her food on a long shallow dish like a cookie sheet, I used a 9 by 13 baking dish so she would get less at a time. I reLize this is kind of a different issue but maybe it would slow her eating down a little? Now we leave our food down all the time for our dog and she eats twice a day on her own

QUESTION: My dog is a 1year old English Bulldog. He has been acting out in aggression lately and he bit me and my son last night. He bit me when I was cleaning his slobber off his face like I always do and my son when my son pointed at him telling him NO for getting into his food. I think it is an Dominance or jealous .. we just recently got a puppy but he is great with her. What do I do? I was thinking about putting him down but do I really need to do that?

You need to see a behaviorist before someone gets hurt. Cesar's tactics are likely to make the situation worse and get you bitten. No boarded veterinary behaviorist agrees with his force-based techniques. Look for a vet board certified by the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists.

I bought Caesar's book about training dogs. Caesar's advice about being calm and assertive works very well with my English Bulldog, Harley as well as being consistent and making sure he knows I'm the pack leader. I don't let him go down the stairs in front of me or walk in front of me to the door when he needs to go out. When I tell him to lay down or do something, I don't walk away in frustration, I stand firm until he does what I told him to do. He has changed into a wonderful companion and friend to me.

For a dog to bite its owner means lack of training and possible maltreatment. If a dog misbehaves its always our fault, you did something that annoyed him. Correct your mistakes or your English Bulldog will put you down

QUESTION: I am currently crate training my English bulldog, so when she wakes up I take her outside. We always carry her out and then put her down outside, unfortunately if we are not watching her 24/7 she will use the bathroom in the house without any warning. We have had her for 3 weeks now, she is 13 weeks old, is she old enough to know she needs to go to the door when she needs the bathroom? How else do I let her know she should not use the house as her toilet???

Sounds like your bulldog has a UTI. I have a 6 year old english bulldog and a 5 month old english bulldog... my 5 month old is on her third diff antibiotic for uti. One sign of having uti is drinking a lot and peeing a lot. my 6 year old has had them ALOT!! and bulldogs LOVE to chew... so make sure you get lots of chew toys. STRONG chew toys. my 6 year old use to chew my leather straps off purses and the underwire in my bras... haha... weird stuff.... she has stopped now but the puppy has plenty of toys and when she goes after something she is not suppose to have i say "leave it!" and give her a chew toy... good luck! english bulldogs are m fav breed!!! make sure you have her urine tested tho for UTI.

Well bulldogs like to eat and if they push their bowl around just giive them three smaller meals a day and slowly bring it back to too and he should be fine after that wait 6 to 7 months to switch back
Anonymous - 12/12/2011 12:00:00 PM
Is Dozer still eating puppy food? If so, then he's hungry. I have 2 bullies, 1 is 6 months. She eats about 3 cups of adult food per day and she's at 32 lbs. I take her food away about 2-3 hrs prior to bedtime, and fill her bowl after her morning walk. Just get into a feeding routine and Dozer will get the idea really fast and know what to expect.

Hello,
We have an English Bulldog he is 9 weeks and we were advised to feed him twice a day. The vet said dogs will eat until they explode and have to be stopped. They may act like they are starving but do not let them fool you. They should have a cup per 20 pounds. The cup should be split up into two feedings per day.. Hope this helps..

At 6 months your english bulldog should be at 2 times a day. At a year he can stay at 2 times a day or just even once. If he's still hungry. Increase his food amount and give him treats in between and snacks that he can chew on for long times to keep his mouth busy.

I have had several Bully's over the last 20 yrs. I would suggest taking him out less, try treats ONLY if he goes. If he has an accident try ignoring him. DO NOT rub his nose in it or scold him just rush him outside. We always use the same key phrase when going outside so they learn what is expected of them(example time to go pee pee poo poo)ALSO they sell a spray that is a no go potty spray its5-9.00 get some its safe & may help. IMO Bulldogs are the closest dogs to human personalities,(as crazy as that may sound)they want to please you & cant stand being ignored, dont give up on him, dont yell or scoll& reward everytime he does something well. I wish you the best of luck.

Are you feeding a high protein dog food such as royal canin or Eukanuba ect? You will notice with the proper protein that they will not eat as much because the protein keeps them full longer. They will Build muscle vs fat. My adults and babies free feed. I currently have a 7.5 month old male I imported from Russia, when I first got him he thought he had to eat everything in site. Now he has been on Royal Canin Med puppy formula which is high in protein and not only has he bulked up considerably he now only grazes on his food here an there. The males do go thru a stage where just like teenage boys they get the testosterone surge and thus increases their desire to eat more but this usually only lasts a few weeks. Talk with your vet, you want your bulldog to be bulky not skinny but there is a fine line between bulky and overweight. lol feel free to visit my website for nutrition advice www.ourheart2yoursbulldogs.com

I personally use Nutro for my bullys just because it has more natural ingredients and I live in Italy so I cannot get Purina Pro Plan. However, I think both of my dogs got the best flavor, protein, and other great vitamins from Salmon and Rice in Purina Pro Plan. They also have a sensitive tummy selection in Purina Pro Plan.

We personally have bad feedback for Blue Buffalo from our puppy owners, haven't had a single person tell us they like it for their bully. Everyone of them tells us that it causes loose stools in their puppy. Try switching his food. We have great luck with Nutro.
mobullybabies - 8/20/2011 12:15:36 PM
Your bulldog might be allergic to chicken. So try switching to another formula, check if they have sensitive tummy formula. Try giving him some canned pumpkin. Not the one from the baking section, but the 100% pure pumpkin from canned veg/fruit section at your grocery store. This helps with both constipation and loose stools. Just a table spoon should do the trick! Good luck.

Although it is not the first thing suggested in most dog owner guides, for the past 10 years i have used human shampoo on my bullies.We breed and show and what we have found that works great on our adults as well as puppies is the Higlights shampoo that can be found in places such as SALLY"S or a local salon. The shampoo is dark violet and states on bottle it is primarily used for blonde hair or silver hair but can be used on any hair color. It keeps the brassiness color out of the blondes and keeps white and silver bright and shiny. Many of our bullies have alot of white on them, we have found it does not irritate their skin and leaves them a bright white and makes their coloring shine. We love it. Just ask for "the dark purple shampoo used on silver or blonde hair" and almost any salon retail store will be able to hook you up. I hate the smell of a wet dog and this shampoo not only smells great but it keeps them smelling great for days!!!

I find that if a bulldog that is been well mannered and tempered starts becoming more aggressive without any other obvious reason (new puppy in the house, female in heat, someone hurting him, etc.) it is generally because they are in pain or sick. They do not normally change temperament for no reason. Take him to the vet and explain what's changed.
