Bulldogs gain weight easily, which compounds airway issues. Lean protein, controlled fat, and joint-friendly omega-3s are the foundation.

Calorie and macronutrient ranges shown are illustrative starting points based on typical adult weights — individual dogs vary substantially. Confirm targets with your vet.
