How much should I feed my 3-month-old English Bulldog puppy?

At 3 months, a Bulldog puppy typically weighs 6–10 kg and needs roughly 600–900 calories per day depending on size, split across three meals. Use the feeding guidelines on your puppy food bag as a starting point and adjust based on body condition score — ribs should be palpable without pressing hard.

When should my English Bulldog puppy have its first vet visit?

Ideally within the first week of bringing your puppy home, regardless of any breeder-provided health checks. The first visit should include a full physical, airway assessment, parasite screening, and a vaccination schedule. Follow-up visits every 3–4 weeks until 16 weeks for the puppy vaccination series.

Can English Bulldog puppies go for long walks?

Short, gentle walks are fine — a common guideline is 5 minutes of structured walk per month of age, twice daily (so a 3-month-old: 15 minutes twice a day). Avoid prolonged exertion and exercise in heat or humidity, as even puppies with mild BOAS can overheat quickly.

Do English Bulldog puppies need special food?

A quality medium-breed puppy food meeting AAFCO growth standards is appropriate. There is no need for a breed-specific formula, but avoiding large-breed puppy food is important. Bulldog puppies with confirmed food allergies may benefit from a novel-protein diet — but this should be guided by a vet, not chosen based on marketing.
