How Much Food Should I Feed My French Bulldog?

Feeding your French Bulldog can be an overwhelming decision, especially when deciding how much food they need. It’s important to figure out the portion size that is right for your pup so that it’s getting enough energy and nutrition to stay healthy and fit. Here are some of the factors to consider when determining how much to feed your French Bulldog.

    • Age

    A French Bulldog puppies need to eat more frequently and in larger portions than adult French Bulldogs of the same weight. Feeding the same amount of food to a puppy as you would an adult can lead to obesity and other health problems. It’s recommended that puppies under four months of age should be fed two to four times per day. Between four and six months, you should reduce this to two meals per day, and switch to adult food when they reach six months of age.

    Weight

    French Bulldogs typically reach their adult weight between six and ten months, but the exact age and weight depends on each individual pup. Use your pup’s weight to determine how much food they need per day. Every dog food’s packaging will give you guidelines on how much to feed your pup based on their weight, but you’ll also need to take into account other factors, such as age and activity level. If your pup is significantly over or underweight, you’ll want to adjust their portion size accordingly.

    Activity Level

    Active French Bulldogs may need more food than those that are less active. Puppies, in general, usually need slightly less food than adults because they’re not typically as active as adult dogs. If your pup is more active than usual, it may be beneficial to give it more food. You can also adjust their portion size upwards if your pup is underweight for its age and weight.

    Type of Food

    The type of food you feed your French Bulldog can also affect the portion size. Fresh, whole food diets such as those from natural dog food companies will have fewer fillers, so your pup will actually need less food than if you were feeding it a kibble or canned food. You should adjust your pup’s portion size based on what type of food you’re feeding.

    Overall, how much you feed your French Bulldog will depend on a few factors, such as age, weight, activity level, and type of food. When in doubt, use the guidelines printed on the food packaging or consult with your vet to get an exact portion size. French Bulldogs are prone to obesity, so it’s important to find a balance between underfeeding and overfeeding.

    By following the guidelines above, you should be able to determine how much food to feed your French Bulldog to keep it healthy and happy.
