A switcher, in his words
FROM THE BIG BRANDS TO BULLY MAX
“I have an American Staffordshire Terrier, he is a very particular eater. We have tried literally everything from Karma to Purina. Blue Buffalo has been the main food source for months. We tried Bully Max now my 18 month pup can’t get enough. I will place another order soon.”
Kevin’s review is on shop.bullymax.com, word for word, with his own photo. He fed Purina and then Blue Buffalo before switching his American Staffordshire Terrier to Bully Max 30/20.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
- Can I switch straight over?
- Go gradually. Over about 7 days, mix a little more Bully Max into the old food each day until the bowl is all Bully Max. Because 30/20 is denser (535 calories a cup), feed by calories, not by the old scoop: a 50 lb dog needs about 2.1 cups a day.
- Which Royal Canin formula is this compared with?
- Royal Canin Adult, the Royal Canin formula on the Bully Max brand comparison, at 330 calories a cup and listed as a plant-based diet. Bully Max 30/20 Chicken is 535 calories a cup and meat-based.
- Where do the cost per meal numbers come from?
- The Royal Canin figure is the one on the Bully Max brand comparison, recorded October 7, 2026. The Bully Max figure is the 15 lb 30/20 Chicken price on shop.bullymax.com ($55.97 one-time, $50.37 with Subscribe & Save) divided by 56 meals: about $1.00 a meal, or $0.90 on subscription. Prices change, so check both before you buy. Cost footnote.
- What is the Nutrient Density Rating?
- Bully Max’s own 1–10 scale, based on calories per cup and whether a formula’s protein is meat-based. Plant-protein and lower-calorie formulas score lower. It is not an independent or third-party rating. Method.
