Sure Grow 100

This is a supplement promotes optimal bone development and for maximum tendon, ligament, bone and tooth growth development in puppies. Also recommended
for adult dogs, show dogs and pregnant and lactating bitches. Beneficial to dogs prone to hip dysplasia, lowered pasterns, rickets and poor ligament growth.
We suggest you give this until your puppy is at least 10mos old in addition to the sure grow. This can be bought at Revival Animal

We have been crushing it and sprinkling over your puppies food.

Dangers in Rawhide.

We Do NOT recommend Rawhide unsupervised. It can be a choking hazard for your puppy, even as an adult. Bulldogs tend to want to chew it down to a flimsy consistency and try to eat it. This is when choking could occur.

Food Recommendations

We recommend Eukanuba Large Breed Puppy. I have enclosed a sample of the food for you. This will help him not grow so fast and his bones and joints will grow correctly. By the books, Bulldogs are classified as a Medium Breed Dog. But most are around the 50lb range at maturity, which is a Large Breed dog. We also have used Purina One Large breed puppy, and Pro Plan it is easier to find. We are happy with Purina’s results, should they not carry Eukanuba in you town.

Crating

Please do not leave your puppy unattended in the house. When they are older and familiar with what is ok and not that is fine. (As a puppy there are lamp cords that they could chew on while we are away, or things they could get into. Think of it this way you would not leave a 2yr. old child unattended while you are gone .)

We recommend a wire crate. In our home when our bullies get tired they will just go to get in their crate and go to sleep. If we are stepping out, we will put them in their crates. It is also allot easier to potty train using a crate.

Books on Bulldogs

We often are ask what are some good books on Bulldogs.

Our all time favorite is:

The Bulldog Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow by John F McGibbon

Pet Insurance There are many companies offering Pet Insurance. We feel like this would be a very good investment especially for the first year of your bulldogs life. Most of the common problems in the bulldog breed show up within the first year of life and are treatable and correctable. Most all vets now accept pet insurance, Click link for details.

Puppy Comfort All of your babies blankets and toys have been washed with Tide either the regular or Mountain Fresh. This may make his transition easier if he has the same scents on his toys at his new home with you.

Nails Upkeep on your puppies nails is very important this is the dremel we have been using on your puppy.
