Is Authority Good for French Bulldogs?

May suit Frenchies who need
  • A single animal protein for a simple diet
  • Gut-support ingredients for a sensitive tummy
Think twice if your Frenchie
  • Is allergic or sensitive to chicken (this recipe lists chicken or poultry)
  • Is a puppy under 12 months (label is for adult maintenance)
  • Needs to avoid corn, wheat or soy (this recipe lists one)

Matched from the label against our Food Finder checklist. Every Frenchie is different: itching, gas, loose stool or weight changes are worth a vet visit, and food changes should be gradual over 7 to 10 days.
