Feeding notes for Bull Terriers
- Prone to compulsive tail-chasing and food-related obsessive behaviors in some lines, which structured meal timing (rather than free-feeding) can help manage.
- A muscular, egg-shaped build makes excess weight comparatively easy to spot as loss of the visible waist called for in the breed standard.
