Overweight Puppy
Submitted by admin on April 20, 2010 - 5:27pmI have an eight month old femal bulldog and I think that she is getting too overweight. She doesn't eat that much as she only eats in the AM and then in the evening. Any suggestions. I tried a little more exercise with you, but she got pooped.

I agree with Cristina...
Along these same lines, is your pup still eating puppy food? If so, I would start making the gradual switch to adult food, as it is lower in fat and protein. Each brand of food is different, but most seem to feed approximately 1 1/2 cups twice per day.
check the fat content in her food...
then look for one that is lower in fat, you don't want to give her less quantity (so she won't be a hungry bullie) just better quality. And make sure to switch her food over very gradually mixing it with the old food so she doesn't react poorly to the new food. Hope this helps.
