I have been researching the Raw Food diet in anticipation of switching my 6-month old English Bulldog to it. He currently eats Innova Puppy Kibble and is as much of a gulper as I've ever seen, so I know I need to proceed carefully and start with frozen raw meaty bones of a larger variety until he learns not to gulp to avoid him choking. However, in researching this I came across the following statement from a Bulldog specific article on diet and nutrition:
"Brachycephalic breeds such as bulldogs have jaws and teeth conditions that are not compatible with a raw food and bones diet."
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the bulldog, or a similar flat-faced breed and the raw diet. I would think that due to the overcrowding of the teeth in the bulldog they would really benefit in terms of dental health. However the above statement raises some choking and breathing concerns, so I would more than welcome any feedback.
Thanks!
