Thank you for this! I’m getting my first English bulldog in a couple weeks and I’m very interested in the raw food diet. Your pup is absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you for your feedback! I highly recommend a raw diet, your dog will absolutely love it and it feels good to know we give our dogs the best possible foods.
@@WarriorBulldogs Is he already after 2 years of eating raw food? With how many weeks do you start giving raw food to the puppy? As soon as he stops feeding from his mother's milk?
Hi !! I really hope you see this comment. But I have been doing research for well over a month prior to getting my english bulldog puppy (finally got him yesterday). After determining that I wanted to go with raw I have found your videos to be VERY helpful. I do have a question. So like you’ve mentioned, vets will be opposed to raw diets- which is baffling to me after learning how most kibble (even the “organic” fancy shit) is packed with corn, rice and an abundance of preservatives. At our vet visit today, my vet made it very clear that I should prepare for very costly visits for the remainder of his life (he quoted to me “bulldogs keep the lights on” for vets...). I’m curious if your dogs experience any of these common “bulldog issues” or if you’ve noticed an overall improvement in health since being on BARF. Obviously, every dog is different and has different needs, allergies, etc.. I was just a little taken aback that a vet would say that to me. I do have one more question lol. My vet also highly suggested that when my dog is of age, he should undergo two procedures (in one surgery) to open up his nasal passage and something to do with his throat? Is this anything you’ve had done on your dogs and do you recommend it ? Thanks for the help and sorry for the story book comment
Hello, don't feel worried. If you take care good care of your pup it will live a healthy happy life. I personally have had Zero vet visits and I have 5 english bulldogs.. I personally attribute this to their diet and daily exercise and sun. I've had plenty of breeds, and all breeds have given me issues until I switched to the raw diet. The only time my dogs have visited a vet is when they were pregnant. Additionally, most bulldogs struggle to breath due to their obesity from kibble, I have never given any surgeries and my dogs can jog 3 miles with me daily and still outpace me. Good diet with daily exercise will keep your dog in the best shape possible.
@@WarriorBulldogs thanks for your response!! So far my puppy is LOVING his raw food diet. In the five days I’ve had him (and had him on a raw diet) I’ve noticed a significant improvement in his coat. I am definitely convinced raw will be his best friend. Your response definitely put me at ease, as I know some bulldog owners have to deal with costly vet visits due to symptoms that can be attributed to a poor, not well-rounded diets. I am really optimistic that this will give him a better quality of life :)
@@deshaunbethea5772 Yes, I have a video in my playlist where they eat a full raw tilapia. Once warrior is a bit older he will also receive the occasional raw fish.
Exactly mate 👍 It would be like for us humans choosing inside your own house between eating prison food or a home cooked meal which one would you choose....😭😂
I started my almost 6 mo old on raw and she eats the bones. Apparently raw bones are quite different from cooked bones which really can be a choking hazard. Some days I have fed fruits and sweet potato instead for a digestive break. I also remove the skin and fat.
Yes, cooked bones can be a choking hazard, they don't properly digest and can build up within a dog overtime. As for the fats, we don't remove any but if you notice your dog doesn't like it you could remove it if you prefer. We have bulldogs which have huge appetites and will eat anything within seconds
A lot of vet's don't have any experience with diet, additionally diet is not something vets or doctors are taught in school. My vet personally breeds dogs and also raw feeds her dogs, so she gets very happy to hear when I raw feed my pups.
Just a FYI, Beware if too much chicken in a raw diet for dogs, chicken feed is very high in OMega 6 which stimulate high level of hormones that then is stimulated in our dogs. Variety is important and organic free range chicken is best!
Hey man , I appreciate the videos super cool . Quick question about portions and feeding whole vs grinding . I have a 2 month old chocolate tri female . I got her from a kennel that were doing strictly kibble just wondering what’s the safest way to transition as well .
You can do both, just make sure if given whole you watch over her while she eats to ensure she doesn't end up choking from swallowing large / long pieces. As for portions, at 2 months old I feed them 3 times a day just enough to fill their stomachs and get them thru the 8 hours of waiting for the next meal. They can also break and swallow smaller bones at 8 weeks old which is excellent for releasing jaw pressure and tiring them out, it will also avoid needless chewing on our house furniture etc..
And yea I've been feeding the raw as well got a big variety for him all in setting. Beef / bison 🦬/ chicken 🍗 I cut up the chicken skins in lil strips so he doesn't choke, also heart of any kind beef or chicken really also chicken feet/paws . Love your warrior bra
Thank you for sharing this with us. I am planning to get my first bulldog and I would like to know more about their care and training. With regards to their food, the vet told me not to give chicken bones to dogs because when they break in their mouth, it causes sharp shards of bone that may puncture their throat and lodged in there. But watching this video, they seem to be capable of eating chicken bone.
Cooked chicken bones are dangerous, meanwhile raw chicken bones are completely fine since raw bones bend.. Cooked bones will break and turn into a sharp knife like object.
Not to sound stupid, but seeing so many people talking about certain types of bulldogs or types of English Bulldogs, I'm wondering what you consider your's as? Thanks.
The Pup in the video warrior is a Merle Lilac Tri. The difference is the color patterns. There are some charts online that show the different color patterns and what they're called. Price also varies based on color.
One little tip for you smash the food with a meat hammer it will be much easy for him to eat bulldog puppies swallow so you have to be careful just smash the food and give it
Nice video and great puppy. I would like to know how is the poop... do you see bone pieces... is it too smelly? It is too wet. Does it look well digested. Thanks for shearing the experience
So...honestly curious. Do you clean that mat he eats on after every feeding (since it could transfer salmonella to it-which could harm you or your family)? And is there a risk of transferring any bacteria if this dog was to lick one of it's (human) family members after it eats? Seriously curious...the idea of a raw diet seems awesome...I know the dog would enjoy it much more....but I obviously wouldn't want to risk my family getting sick from exposure to raw chicken.
@@PatrickEvans-x1v actually, I researched it…and it does present a risk. Obviously nothing is 100% safe. But your risk of getting salmonella is definitely increased feeding them raw fowl.
I’ll be bringing my 8 week rotti home in 5 weeks. I want to start him off the right way, RAW. assuming pups 4 months and under eat 3 meals a day, how many pounds of meat do you recommend for the day (over three meals)?
This may sound like a dumb question but it’s my first time looking into raw food diet. When you mean raw it’s just out the packet without anything to it? And is the chicken from grocery store good for them? Or does it have to be fresh kill?
Just regular raw meat/chicken etc.. from the grocery store is fine. Dog's will eat any kind of meat from rats up to cows, it's good to give them a variety of different meats since different animals will contains oils and nutrients that will help your pup.
80% chicken with bone, 15% veggies and 5% chicken liver. Adults get 1 large meal in the morning, anywhere from 1-2 pounds each. This has worked for years and all dogs in great health.
Raw bones are ok... Cooked bones are dangerous. Once you cook a bone it changes texture into a sharp knife like object which can cause internal damage.
Majority of people are unaware of how good a raw food diet is for dogs. You will see excellent results from your dog over time. To name a few , less pee/poo, less smell, healthier skin and fur and a lot more energy. The oldest dog to ever have lived was 29 years old and was on a raw food diet in australia.
LOL, you must have the patience of a saint to deal with a young pup like that. I love animals, but I love watching videos of them and playing with other peoples animals. I can spend a few hours with them but no more. Don’t have the patience to own them, especially puppies. I love them to death, I’m just not a very patient person. That’s whyI watch videos and stuff. I help unwanted animals or abused animals get proper placement, and it pisses me off to hear of abuse animals. I currently have a cat who is mean as hell! I called her the devil cat! She will be my last one though. Good luck with the little guy, and I hope I can meet him someday!
Chicken is a great diet that's worked for my pups starting at 4 weeks old. 90%chicken with bone, 8% veggies and a small 2% portion of chicken liver. I have a few videos as well, that shows the full preparation process for our dogs raw meals.
Two of my raw food dogs have been bred and produced great puppies... I have never tried a natural birth with my english bulldogs though and they have all been via Csection, all though It's a goal of mine to produce an english bulldog that can give natural births everytime.
BEAUTIFUL DOG ON ONE HAND. ON THE OTHER HAND NOBODY SHOULD EAT RAW MEAT. IM VEGAN INTO ANIMAL RIGHTS. THIS WAS A POP UP ON MY PHONE. CUTE DOGS. ASK YOUR VET ABOUT THE RAW MEAT. NOBODY SHOULD EAT RAW MEAT.
Nice, I've been vegan for over 10 years as well. Dogs need meat, they are not like us humans that can live off carbs. Dogs don't eat fruit or vegetables unless forced too. Dogs by nature are carnivores and meat is all they would eat if they were wild. That is why so many peoples dogs are plagued with avoidable sickness and disease these days, because they are not feeding the proper diet to their pets. One of the oldest dogs was from australia, lived 29 years old and was fed a pure raw kangaroo meat diet it's whole life.
My dog is 20 months old (almost 2 years old, but in May). I wanted to know how to approach this if I were to start feeding him raw meat. Just the other day my mom gave him a chicken breast and he liked it. Should we feed him slowly, like how we transition him with commercial foods (mix in a bit at a time and then start feeding him the new food?)? Thank you for this video, I really needed a motivation to ask my mom to start this diet. My English Bulldog has had skin patches since he was baby baby, and he’s gotten better, but lately his patches have migrated in other places. Thank you, again. Have a good day!
You can go about it either way, via transitioning their food and mixing it, or just switching over 100% to raw. They both work, but if you want to see if diet will resolve existing skin issues, I would recommend to feed raw 100% for a few weeks and cut out the kibble completely. This will allow you to examine your pups rashes and see if they are getting better with diet alone.
Do u give them an additional supplements for Vitamin C, Fish oil or yogurt as I have seen other bully parents do? I just got my first English Bully and I am trying to give him anything possible to give him the best future.
They are fed their raw diet daily, and when it's bedtime they all get a piece of cheese. The cheese is used as a treat to get in bed and also helps with any stomach acid build up. You can give them yogurt on occasion to help with stomach acids, and other supplements as long as they are natural won't hurt either such as fish oils. All though my pups eat fish weekly so no fish oils are needed.
Have you ever had a bull that has allergies to chicken? My wife and I can't afford pure raw chicken all of the time so he's getting chicken dog food and raw chicken. He's developed a skin allergy (itchy bald spots). I'm convinced it's the chicken dog food and just switched him to venison today. Just wondering if you've ever encountered allergies to raw.
They are very pricy, mostly because of the trouble it takes to breed / csections etc... But out of all the dogs I've had in my life, English bulldogs are my all time favorite. They have the funniest attitudes, loving and super smart.
I feed my dogs chicken quarts as well. even little warrior now eats the quarts, but yes drumstick alone are fine and they get far more calcium from the chicken bone in the drumstick than they would a commercial dog food.
I recommend a raw food diet, you can research the "Barf" diet by dr. ian billinghurst, he's an australian vet who wrote the foundation for a raw food diet.
Awesome video ! I just got my English Bulldog and he is A Black Tri Merle , 67 days old , He is currently eating ACANA puppy , But after seeing this I kind want to try out the raw diet and give him a drumstick lol , How would you suggest I incorporate the drumstick to his diet ? He eats 3 times a day Thank you in advance , I literally watched this video 3 times in a row ! Warrior is a bad ass
You can always mix in raw with the existing food. Personally I switch over 100% instantly from kibble to raw with previous dogs I've had. Switching over instantly resolved issues such as pooping too much, drinking too much water, strong body/mouth odors and soft poop etc...
Yes, just keep an eye on him as sometimes they try and swallow too large of a piece. In the case you pup ever chokes on a big piece of meat, simply pull it out of their mouth/throat before they pass out.
