French bulldog puppy (under 20 lbs) – Start with 1-2% of their body weight in raw food daily, split into 2 meals. So, if your Frenchie weighs 15 pounds, that’s roughly 3-4 ounces per meal.
French bulldog AdultÂ(20-25 lbs) – Up the ante to 1.5-2% of their body weight. A 22-pounder might gobble 6-8 ounces per meal.
French bulldog Senior (over 25 lbs) – Fuel up with 2% of their body weight. A 30-pound Frenchie could chow down on 10-12 ounces per meal.
But wait, there’s more! Adjust these amounts based on your Frenchie’s activity level –
- Couch potato(less active) – Start on the lower end of the range.
- Parkour pro (very active) – Add a bit more fuel for all those zoomies.
Listen to your pup – Watch their weight and energy levels.
Is your Frenchie a bouncing ball? Maybe add a small scoop.
Sleepy with leftover food? Cut back a bit.
Bonus tips –
- Start small and adjust portions gradually.
- Use a kitchen scale for accuracy. Consistency is key!
- Split meals into 2-3 portions per day.
Additional tips for feeding your Frenchie –
Regardless of whether you choose homemade or raw food, make sure the meals are portioned appropriately for your dog’s size, activity level, and age.
Provide your Frenchie with fresh water at all times.
Monitor your dog’s weight and health condition to ensure they are thriving on their new diet.
P.S. Don’t forget to consider the type of raw food you’re feeding. Muscle meat, organs, bones, and vegetables all play a role in a balanced diet.
French bulldog’s raw diet could include commercially prepared diets, homemade diets, or a combination of both.
Now go forth and create pawsome raw portions for your furry friend! With a little guidance and keen observation, you’ll be dishing up healthy and delicious meals that make your Frenchie happy, healthy, and full of zoomies!
Remember, this is just a guide, and individual needs may vary. Always consult your veterinarian for personalized advice on feeding your Frenchie a raw diet.
Example – A 20-pound Frenchie would eat roughly 0.6-0.75 pounds (300-375 grams) of raw food per day.
