As already mentioned, this breed is a small dog, weighing between 8 and 14 kg .

It is very important that in their main moment of growth, that is as puppies, these dogs always maintain an ideal weight . This is necessary because in this delicate phase of development the bone structure is not yet sufficiently formed , therefore a weight above average would risk creating excessive fatigue with consequent health problems.

Since the French bulldog puppy does not need a very abundant protein intake, what does it consist of?

The ideal is definitely to opt for the choice of fish-based kibbles, such as Puppy-Junior Artica by Aldog®.

Designed specifically for puppies aged 2 to 12 months , these salmon-based kibbles are perfect for dogs who do not require an excessive amount of protein.

Furthermore, these biscuits are characterised by the presence of:

• prebiotics (FOS) to promote the balance of bacterial flora;


• chondroitin, glucosamine and methylsulfonylmethane to support the development of joints and cartilage, a very important aspect as we have seen a little while ago;


• linseed oil and salmon oil rich in omega 3 and omega 6, to best maintain the puppy's coat and make it shiny and silky.


• gluten-free rice to make the kibble completely digestible, even for the most sensitive dogs.

Always taking into account what has just been explained, even in adulthood it is very important to pay attention to the weight of your bulldog.

Even in adulthood, in fact, excessive weight could damage the dog's joints, so the ideal is to limit meals to two a day (the evening one a little more abundant) and opt for solutions with a well-balanced protein intake.

The diet of the adult French bulldog is therefore similar to that of the puppy, in fact fish-based kibble continues to be the best solution.
