How to Read the Chart
- Calories per cup matter most for weight. A higher-calorie food lets you feed a smaller scoop. That helps dogs that need to put on weight or keep weight on.
- Protein supports muscle. If you want your dog to build or keep muscle, look for higher protein and enough calories to fuel it. Exercise does the rest.
- Fat is energy. Higher fat means more calories. Lower fat suits dogs that gain weight easily.
- The main protein matters for sensitive dogs. If your dog does not do well on chicken, choose the beef or lamb recipe.
- Taste counts. Every recipe is meat-based, but some dogs prefer one meat over another.
Which Bully Max Food Is Right for Your Dog?
For muscle and healthy weight gain
Most owners of pit bulls and American Bullies start with 30/20. It has 30% protein, 20% fat and 535 calories per cup, so a muscular dog gets what it needs without huge portions. If your dog is underweight or a hard keeper, see our guide on how to help your dog gain weight the healthy way, and check with your vet first if the weight loss was sudden or unexplained.
Not sure where to start? Bully Max 30/20 is the place most active adult dogs start, with 30% protein and 535 calories per cup.
TRY BULLY MAX 30/20 HIGH-PROTEIN DOG FOOD
Fuel strength and energy with meat-based nutrition, 30% protein, 20% fat, and 535 calories per cup.
For working, sport and very active dogs
PRO Series 31/25 is our most calorie-dense formula at 600 calories per cup, with 31% protein and 25% fat. It suits dogs in weight pull, protection work, long runs or heavy training, and dogs that burn through food.
For dogs that don't do well on chicken
Chicken is the most common protein in dog food. If your dog does better without it, pick by workload: 30/20 Beef for active dogs, or 25/11 Lamb for dogs that need less fat. Your vet can help confirm whether chicken is really the problem.
Need a chicken-free option with the same 30% protein and 20% fat? Bully Max also makes a 30/20 beef recipe.

For less active dogs and weight control
25/11 Lamb has 25% protein and 45% less fat, at 415 calories per cup. It keeps protein high while lowering calories, which helps dogs that gain weight easily stay lean.
For puppies
24/14 High Protein & Growth Puppy Food is made for growing puppies, with 24% protein, real lamb and TruMune to support digestion and immune health. It is suitable for large-breed dogs, including large-breed puppies, under AAFCO guidelines. Large and giant breed puppies should grow at a steady pace, so feed measured meals and track weight. See our guide to the best pitbull puppy food for more.
For picky eaters
Many dogs that turn their nose up at kibble eat well when you mix in a wet food. Our 26/12 Instant Wet Dog Food is just add water, with real chicken first and 592 calories per cup. You can also add a freeze-dried topper to their usual bowl.
How Much Should You Feed?
How much to feed depends on your dog's weight, age and activity, and on the calories in the food. Because the calories per cup differ, the same dog eats different amounts of each formula. For example, a dog that needs about 1,600 calories a day would eat about 3 cups of 30/20 (535 kcal/cup), but closer to 4 cups of 25/11 (415 kcal/cup).
To get a starting amount for your dog, use our dog food calculator or our full guide on how much to feed your dog. Then weigh your dog every couple of weeks and adjust.
Don't overfeed a calorie-dense food
Bully Max formulas pack more calories into each cup than many foods, so your dog usually eats less by volume. That also means it's easy to overfeed if you eyeball the scoop. Start at the feeding guide on the bag for your dog's weight, measure every meal, and adjust gradually.
Switch foods slowly
Give your dog's stomach time to adjust with a 7-day switch:
- Days 1 and 2: 25% new food, 75% current food.
- Days 3 and 4: 50% new food, 50% current food.
- Days 5 and 6: 75% new food, 25% current food.
- Day 7: 100% new food.
If your dog has a sensitive stomach or gets loose stools, stretch the switch to 10 to 14 days.
Store it the right way
Keep the food in its original bag and close the zip seal (or roll and clip the top) to keep out air and moisture. If you like a bin, put the sealed bag inside it rather than pouring the kibble in. More tips in how to store dog food.

I have no idea how to pick your food. I’ve got 2 dogs, a male cane corso pitt and a female pitt eating Ollie. They were shelter dogs with rough lives prior. His coat was looking great, but it’s not now and she’s pretty good, but itchy…weight for him is about 80 to 85 lbs and she’s at least 75 lbs. I can’t afford to buy the wrong food. I need to try it and wran off Illieb if they like it.
