Recommended Dry Food for Bull Terriers
  • BulliesofNCBulliesofNC

    Everybody is going to have their own opinions about which dog food is best suited for their dog or dogs. In truth there are quite a few really good foods available that contain all the right elements that make up a well balanced and nutritious meal for your dog. My dry dog food of choice for our adult Bull Terriers is "Taste of the Wild." I'm a firm believer that no matter what brand of dog food you utilize it should be one that's free of grain. Here's a link to many other recommended grain free dry dog foods - http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/best-dog-foods/best-grain-free-dog-foods/best-grain-free-dog-foods-dry/

    For puppies my choice is Royal Canin. I've had really good luck with this food over the years with both puppies and expectant/nursing mothers.

    I was thinking of getting the dog food from royal cannin for when i have a pregnant female, you think its good? I use Science Diet Ideal Balance, Ive never been fond of science diets dog food, but I got to try this food half off at my work and so I tried it since it was so cheap, I was amazed because Bowzer suffered from loose stool or diarrhea most of his life and it immediately stoped with this food, ellie was having frequent accidents in her cage and I have tried dozens of dog food over the years and I was truly shocked. It seems like my dogs go to the bathroom much much less frequent on this food where they used to need to go poop multiple times a day down to only once a day maybe twice a day for the younger dog. Its amazing stuff and I have no reason nor desire to switch haha.

    Danielle,

    Royal Canin makes a food specially designed for pregnant and nursing females. Yes, I think it's excellent. I currently have Cyra and Mokoa on it and they look great. Science Diet is a well balanced food but not at the level of Royal Canin. However, if your dogs are doing good with it and your happy with it that's all that matters.

    the ideal balance formula is the upgraded version in it and doesnt contain corn and many other things most commercial foods have, I know a lot of royal cannin's food has corn in it does the formula for pregnant females have the corn in it?

    not bad not bad at all. dogfoodanalysis.com is a good site too. I would say that food is probably close or on the same level as ideal balance, but i wanna see the fat and protein content.
  • ZerlettZerlett
    Working in Petco I need to see if we carry this formula, that stuff is majorly expensive!!
  • BulliesofNCBulliesofNC
    It is a little pricey but it provides great results and well worth it.
  • ZerlettZerlett
    sounds good I will look into it!
  • AlfredAlfred
    I like to feed my bully EVO red meat formula it also is a grain free food check it out.
  • ZerlettZerlett
    oooh wow thats good stuff! any pics of your bullie?
  • AlfredAlfred
    yes but trying to post pic on here is something else ....but i will keep trying ...
  • ZerlettZerlett

    I have a question for bulliesofNC I was told that bull terriers need to be fed large breed puppy food and that's what iv been feeeding them but I'm tryn out the ones u were talking about just wanting to know if that was true or not
  • ZerlettZerlett
    theres less fat in those foods usually, a regular puppy food will have more fat and probably be better.
  • monero82monero82
    O ok well I'm trying the royal canin for my pups that r 9 months and I saw a large breed but the weight on the bag started at 50 pounds and my pups only weight 40 pounds so I'm tryn the one for medium pups should I get the large breed and just feed them less or stick to the one I have
  • ZerlettZerlett
    i would get medium puppy not large breed.
  • ZerlettZerlett
    feed the same amount you normally do
  • monero82monero82
    Ok thanks for the info
  • BulliesofNCBulliesofNC

    monero82 - Feed them as prescribed on the the back of the food package. Mark my words, you'll see great results with Royal Canin.

    The weights they are talking about are for avaerage weight of an adult dog of the particular breed, not the weight of the particular puppy.

    Due to the average weight of a EBT you could use either food. We just prefer utilizing the one mention in the above post.

    The first 2 30lb. bags of Royal Canin Medium Puppy I purchased from Amazon.com.  It is shipped free in 2 days if you are a Prime member with no taxes charged.  It is $2 more at our local Petco, and of course, taxes are charged.
    Just in case anyone was interested:)
  • LeslieLeslie
    My bullies are on taste of the wild Fish for my adult female and the High Prairie for my pup, does the Royal Canine contain any chicken? My female is allergic to chicken even just a minimal amount Will make her ears flare up.
  • BulliesofNCBulliesofNC
    Taste of the Wild is excellent for your Adults dogs and the Royal Canin is my choice for puppies. There's many different foods offered through Royal Canin some with chicken and some without. You'd have to check the ingredients for each. I would keep your adult on Taste of the Wild if she's doing good with it.
  • LeslieLeslie
    They both are their coats are shiny and health is great, my female was on blue buffalo fish and sweet potato and when I got my male blue didn't offer puppy food and since totw had started making puppy food I just switched them both and it was a little cheaper. Blue now makes puppy food but the price is nuts:@ so when my male starts on adult food in 5 months or so I was considering switching back to blue but if it ain't broke don't fix it right!!! I have just heard good thing about the royal canine also and was curious, thanks for the advice:)
  • yoshiricanyoshirican
    Heads up guys I believe Taste of the wild is having a recall from what I hear and I cant seem to get yahoo homepage to work so check it out.
  • BulliesofNCBulliesofNC

    You welcome:)
  • ZerlettZerlett
    Its more than just taste of the wild, its diamond pets foods, natural balance, premium edge and a few others. Apparently its not making the dogs sick, but people handling the food are getting sick.
  • monero82monero82
    Man taste of the wild is working good on my female her coat is really shiny and I even noticed her color is turning darker and it looks really nice I would hate to take her off of it but do yall know what the recall is and y its making the people sick
  • LeslieLeslie
    its contaminated with Salmonila and the people touching it are getting sick:( The company is offering money back in coupon or refund if you contact them. I'm considering switching back to Blue Buffalo:( mine also do well on this food.
  • monero82monero82
    I was reading up on it and they showed all the areas that have the bad food I'm in Texas and it didn't mention it so I'm kinda debating on switching plus it showed some numbers on the bag that can help u also but I put my food in containers so I can't check the bag that kinda has me worried
  • LeslieLeslie
    I also put mine in containers, call the company they will tell you to pitch it since you don't have the bag to check the numbers and issue you a coupon. I live in Michigan and my bullies have already ate half the bag:( I was not nice when I called:( the store I bought my food from knew nothing about the recall!!!! So theirs still probly bags of contaminated food on their shelves:(!!!!
  • monero82monero82
    Ok thanks ima have to do that cause I called the store I bought it from pet world and talked to the owner he told me that the warehouse he gets it from is not the warehouse that was contaminated he gets it from somewhere else and that only certain areas were contaminated but now I'm kinda wondering and I'm going to have to make that call u wouldn't happen the num to the company would u
  • BulliesofNCBulliesofNC

    It's too bad about this recall because it will really hurt the companies involved like Taste of the Wild and they are my favorit food of choice for my adult dogs. This will not cause me to switch dog foods. I'm looking forward to seeing Taste of the Wild back on the shelves!

  • LeslieLeslie
    I just googled it and clicked call on their website sorry:/ you will get to talk to a human though:)
  • ZerlettZerlett
    if its not making the dogs sick i wouldnt switch either. wash your hands after handling pet foods because dogs can handle salmonella at a much higher rate than we can. salmonella is all over the ground and dogs always have there noses on the ground.
