Question
Thank you for your patience...we are a different breed...OUR Bo is 136lbs. and an American Bulldog not quite perfect for showing as he has hip displasia (sic)
Before I moved in with parents dog literally laid down all day.  Mom siad that is why it is called a dogs life.  I disagree and walk him regularly.
he gets approximately 2 c. Pedigree liitle bites a.m. and p.m. 1/3 less than before I started his diet.  He is special and I know it feels good to be a road dog. We walk a mile up and a mile back.  Is this in the ballpark?  He is like our baby.  These are the excuses to not walk..bad legs, too hot, long nails, sore pads on his "tender" feet.  Is it enough don't you think to go out when temp is in mid-eighties if he cools off in the pond afterwards...I am not so much a needy person but THIS JUNK about why he should lie around and get fat...you know! He does seem to have trouble breathing when he misses his walks....I think we can build his muscles...
THANK YOU Thank you.      Marion and BO

Answer
HI MARION
GOOD FOR YOU TO WALK THE DOG DAILY EVEN WITH BAD HIPS.  WHY NOT PLACE HIM ON FRESH FACTORS, THE LINK IS ON MY SITE ON THE FRONT PAGE.  IT WILL HELP HIM LOOSEN UP AND FEEL MUCH BETTER.  I GET NOTHING OUT OF THIS COMPANY I USE THE PRODUCTS IS WHY I RECOMMEND THEM.
I FEEL POOR BREEDING IS A RESULT OF HD OF COURSE AND BREEDERS JUST KEEP BREEDING THE SAME PARENTS THAT PRODUCE THIS.  NOW, ONE CAN PROMOTE THIS BY ONESELF BY RUNNING A YOUNG DOG ON HARD SURFACES, JUMPING ON HARD GROUND AND FROM HIGH STEPS, OVER FEEDING, ETC.
BULLDOGS DO NOT BREATH AS EASY AS OTHERS, BUT MINE \GOT ALONG JUST FINE IN SUMMER, I WOULD PUT HER INSIDE TO COOL DOWN, THEN WALK HER, SHE WAS SUCH A FUN DOG TO OWN.   SHE WAS PUT DOWN OCT 13, HER ASHES ARE ON THE MANTEL, HER LUNGS FILLED, SHE WAS NEAR 12 YEARS OLD AND HER LIFESPAN WAS ONLY TO 8 YRS.  I GIVE FRESH FACTORS FULL CREDIT FOR GIVING HER THE EXTRA YEARS FOR SHE PURKED UP AND FELT GOOD UP TO THE LAST TEN MONTHS OF LIFE.
TAKE CARE AND KEEP IN TOUCH, I LOVE BULLDOGS AND GO FOR IT IN WALKING, JUST GIVE HIM RELIEF WITH A SUPPLEMENT AND BUG OFF FOR FLEAS, WHY PUT CHEMICALS INTO YOUR PET.?
