Product Information
Growth is a key phase for the puppy, because it sets the pattern for his future health. Over the period of a few months, the English Bulldog puppy goes through some major upheavals: weaning and the transition to solid food, very rapid physical development, lifestyle changes.
From weaning to 5 months - Intense and rapid development
The skeleton’s spectacular development
The skeleton requires considerable protein and mineral amounts, with exactly the right level of calcium – neither too little nor too much.
Keeping an eye on digestion
The transition to solid food demands great care, because the puppy is incapable of assimilating large quantities of food or digesting starch. Weight gain needs to continue, but must be controlled so that the puppy does not gain too much too young, which will weaken a still fragile bone structure.
Incomplete immune defences
During the first weeks of life, the puppy benefits from maternally transmitted antibodies, but this protection is lost between the 4th and 12th weeks. With his own immune system still immature, he is then exposed to risk of infection, particularly as he has not yet been vaccinated. Only a specially developed food can help him through this “immunity gap” in total safety.
From 5 months to the end of growth - consolidating his assets
Muscle development
During this period, weight gain slows down while the bone structure achieves to consolidate itself. The food must be less rich, although the puppy still needs 50% more calories than an adult dog.
Maturity at last for the digestive system
From 5 months onwards, the puppy can digest larger amounts of food, but it is important to watch his weight gain carefully as overweight at this stage can lead to joint problems in later life.
Adult teeth appear
The milk teeth, which came through at around 3 weeks, are replaced by the adult dentition at around 7 months old. From now on it is important to encourage the puppy to crunch his food before swallowing, not only to slow down his speed of ingestion but also to encourage good oral-hygiene.
