My 3 yr. old Bully has had diarea off and on ever since I own her. I feed her Royal Canin Bulldog 24 I started giving her 1/3 can of dog food from the vet and that does stop it. Do you think the bulldog food is too rich for her. My other bulldog is on it but it does not affect him.

suggestion
I've read on this forum that canned pumpkin (not the pie filling w/ the spices, just plain, straightforward pumpkin) can help "firm" things up. Although I think that might be a temporary fix for a bully w/ non-ongoing tummy issues. It seems you might need to start looking in to other food (grain free is often a good place to start) as well as considering feeding raw. There are quite a few on here who fee raw, I am not one of them...but I'm sure they'll have a lot of insight and suggestions for you to help you and your pup find a solution.
Good luck!
PS...I really love your signature picture. It cracks me up! :)

My swimming bully buddy!
I love that picture!!!! That's Great!!!! Yeah canned pumkin or
pepto - but agree probably the food.
Yes, grain free food...
salmon and sweet potato is good, has 24% protein which is good for bulldogs. I buy the costco brand which is cheaper, but Taste of the Wild is good too. I suspect the canned food is W/D which is for loose stools, but is mainly fillers and fiber, not much nutritional stuff in it. I also use DiaBac which I order on line, it's an all natural diarrhea cure and it works really well.
I switched from Royal Canin
I switched from Royal Canin almost a 1 1/2 yr ago to Natural Balance after my daughter made the switch for her special needs pup...We both have had great results.
Food/Pumpkin
We had a lot of trouble getting a food that works well. If he eats too much or the protein is too high, our guy gets diarreah. We struggled for 5 months to get it right and I freeze canned pumpkin in ice trays and give it to him as a frozen treat, or add a scoop to his food. It's really helped.
Also, our guy gets the runs from any dairy. Doesn't seem to do well with potato either :(
