Feeding a growing, muscular companion
The American Bully is a powerful, muscular breed, and nutrition is the foundation of their health, structure, and temperament. A well-fed puppy grows into a strong, stable adult.
Choosing a food
Select a high-quality large-breed puppy formula with a named animal protein as the first ingredient. Look for balanced calcium and phosphorus ratios to support healthy joint and bone development.
How much and how often
- 8–12 weeks: three measured meals a day
- 3–6 months: two meals a day
- 6 months and up: two meals a day, adjusted to body condition
When to adjust
Watch your puppy's body condition, not the bag's chart. You should feel ribs easily without pressing hard, and see a visible waist when viewed from above. Adjust portions gradually.
Treats and supplements
Keep treats to under 10% of daily calories. Avoid supplementing calcium or vitamins unless your veterinarian recommends it — over-supplementation can harm a growing bully.
