FREEZE-DRIED RAW FEEDING GUIDE

How much to feed a Bulldog

Quick answer: An adult Bulldog typically weighs 40–55 lb and needs about 16.0–22.0 oz of freeze-dried raw food per day — roughly 2–3% of body weight — usually split across two meals. Use the chart below to dial in the right amount, then adjust to keep a lean, healthy condition.

Bulldog daily feeding chart

Approximate daily amount of freeze-dried raw for a healthy, moderately active adult. Smaller dogs sit at the higher % of body weight, larger dogs at the lower.

Adult weightPer dayPer meal (×2)
5 lb 2.0 oz 1.0 oz
10 lb 4.0 oz 2.0 oz
20 lb 8.0 oz 4.0 oz
30 lb 12.0 oz 6.0 oz
40 lb Bulldog 16.0 oz 8.0 oz
50 lb Bulldog 20.0 oz 10.0 oz
60 lb 24.0 oz 12.0 oz
75 lb 30.0 oz 15.0 oz
90 lb 36.0 oz 18.0 oz
110 lb 44.0 oz 22.0 oz

Freeze-dried raw is measured before rehydrating. These are starting points based on ~2–3% of ideal body weight — always adjust to body condition, not the bag.

Feeding a Bulldog: what to know

English Bulldogs are low-energy and gain weight quickly, so keep portions modest and treats minimal. Staying lean takes pressure off their joints and makes breathing easier.

By life stage

  • Puppy: growing Bulldog puppies need more fuel — start around 5–8% of current body weight per day across 3–4 meals, tapering toward adult amounts as they mature.
  • Adult: about 16.0–22.0 oz/day, split into two meals.
  • Senior: similar to adult but watch for lower activity — trim portions if you feel less of a waistline.

Bulldog feeding questions

An adult Bulldog (40–55 lb) needs roughly 16.0–22.0 oz of freeze-dried raw per day, split between two meals, then adjust to keep a lean condition.

How much should a Bulldog puppy eat?
Puppies use a lot of energy growing — start near 5–8% of their current body weight per day, spread across 3–4 meals, and step down toward adult portions as they reach maturity.
Is freeze-dried raw good for a Bulldog?
Yes. Freeze-dried raw delivers whole-food, minimally processed nutrition that suits Bulldogs of every life stage — including medium breeds. It's complete-and-balanced, safety-tested, and far easier to serve than frozen raw.
