Feeding

Updated: Jun 8, 2020

1. DO NOT FEED YOUR POOCH WITH UNHEALTHY SNACKS

I know that it might be challenging to avoid giving snacks to your Frenchie because we are all familiar with their adorable eyes desperately begging for food. When picking snacks for your batpig, don't forget there are much healthier options too. For example, you can reward him with fruit snacks that are full of vitamins and fibers.

2. AVOID OVERFEEDING WITH SNACKS

It's extremely important not to break your dog’s feeding schedule with treats. That's why you can divide a certain amount of food from one of your dog's meals for rewarding.

3. DO NOT DISTURB YOUR FRENCHIE WHILE EATING

Every dog will enjoy eating alone. The time of having lunch presents their greatest pleasure. Therefore, don't put your noses into their bowls until they finish. Imagine the opposite situation when someone's interrupting your time for eating.

Note that in your French bulldog's head there's only one thing going through his mind. He thinks that you're a potential threat to his meal. So, you that's why you shouldn't become surprised if your little batpig start acting aggressively.

4. DO NOT FEED YOUR FRENCH BULLDOG WITH YOUR OWN MEAL

I strongly suggest you not to do this, otherwise, you'll get a spoiled dog that will allow you neither your guests eating in peace. If you don't mind to feed your pet while eating, remember that there are people who don't like it.

5. YOUR DOG NEEDS TO HAVE HIS OWN FEEDING BOWL

Since your dog is considered for your family member, he deserves to own his special feeding and water bowl. Do not let your doggie eat from your hand or from the ground. By allowing him to eat from the ground, you'll teach him to eat other dangerous things in the park or yard. In other words, you're making trouble by yourself. On the other hand, when you teach your batpig to eat from your hand, he'll start refusing to eat in another way. So, it can become an issue

6. ALWAYS DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF FOOD HE'S ALLOWED TO EAT

The optimal amount of food for your French bulldog depends on his age, activity level and health. Therefore, I advise you not to provide him with needless calories that his body will convert to fat. Otherwise, you'll only get your pooch into issues with breathing and obesity.

7. DO NOT REWARD YOUR FRENCH BULLDOG FOR EVERYTHING

It would not be a good idea to reward a Frenchie every time he performs a certain trick and shows obedience. That's how he'll connect such behavior with food. Note that there's a slim line between your dog's obesity and rewarding.

8. FORGET ABOUT FEEDING LATE IN THE EVENING

It's a much better option to have multiple smaller meals than one or two big ones. French bulldog breed is not like other breeds. It's more prone to suffer from stomach flatulence. It happens because they eat fast or some type of food doesn't fit their bellies.
