Bulldog food – finding the right feed – let’s go straight to the experts – those that show champion bulldogs. We are often asked what food we use – my answer is the bulldog feed of champions. The top 2 brands used by the champions are Purina Pro Plan and Royal Canin.
I will tell you that we have been through nearly a dozen brands between our bulldogs and German shepherds. From the most expensive to those in the middle. Even some of what appear to be the healthiest options may not be. It is beyond frustrating trying to find the right brand and marketing ads make it even harder to locate the right bulldog feed. I was shocked to see a July 2019 poster in our vet’s office showing the results of an FDA investigation into canine heart disease and specifically calling out 16 brands, brands with lentils, peas, legume seeds or potatoes as the main ingredients.
So, let’s get to the top two bulldog food brands recommended by professional AKC champion breeders:

Why is the right bulldog feed so important?
- Bulldog allergies – similar to our German shepherds, bulldogs are prone to allergies. Royal Canin and Purina Pro Plan are made with those allergies and sensitive stomachs in mind.
- Bulldog health and obesity, specifically. Make sure you follow the label on how much bulldog feed to provide daily, but also watch the girth of your bulldog.
We’ve all heard you are what you eat. Our furry friends, our bulldogs, are equally impacted by their bulldog foods. It is worth the time and cost to feed these foods. Feed the best.
