Also check with your veterinarian before you begin giving your puppy any type of food supplement. Your vet may be able to determine if a certain type of supplement is useful or not.
Visit your local pet store and read the labels on various puppy-specific foods. The packaging should make it clear how much protein content each type of food contains. Premium dog foods are also often available at large grocery stores and supermarkets.
Giving your Bully pup foods with less than 30% protein and less than 20% fat content may result in health problems when the dog is grown.
Brands of supplement that can be safely given to puppies include those made by Vita Bully, Bully Max, and MVP’s Formula Mass Weight Gainer for Dogs. Your local pet store may have these supplements in stock. If not, ask if these supplements can be special ordered.
Find times to feed the pup that work into your daily schedule. For example, try feeding the pup once at 7 am before work, once at 1 pm after lunch, and once at 8 pm after dinner. The amount of food you give the dog depends on its size and appetite. Follow the suggested serving given on the food container, or check with your vet to see how much a healthy Bully pup should eat each day. Bully puppies under 12 weeks will need 4 meals a day. If you have very young Bully pups, work with your vet to establish an optimal eating schedule.
You should also continue this practice after the Bully is fully grown.
For example, you could feed the dog a generous amount of food at 7 am and again at 7 pm. Dogs’ metabolisms change once they hit about 1 year of age. At this point, you may notice the dog putting on fat rather than muscle.
