Preventing Gastro Problems in French Bulldogs

1. Choose the right food: French bulldogs can play better with the food that has a very high digestive source of protein and also has fibers that don’t have the bacteria that produces gas in the colon. Try avoiding some things like soy, peas or beans which will be a good initiative. Thing like ‘low-residue’ formula will also work very well.

You can feed the dry food and as well as canned food too, it will also help. You can also try feeding on hand.

For this, you might consult a doctor to take extra care.

3. Ditch the dairy: It’s common for us to feed milk or cheese to pets. But do you know that milk and cheese have lactose present in them, which is not digested properly by any frenchie who is adult. So, you should probably stop feeding dairy products to your French bulldog!
