On this page you will find information regarding the health and well being of the English Bulldog.
We also have a few suggestions that we think will be very beneficial for you on caring for your Bulldog. We certainly do not have all the answers, but would like to share our suggestions for you about things we have learned along the way.
Like people, our dogs are what they eat. For our Bullies we feed high end dog food that is a grain free product. We recommend feeding your puppy a dog food that is made up of all human grade ingredients. We believe that feeding your dog a better dog food will give him a better quality of life. Read your dog and puppy food labels so you know what you are feeding your baby. Contrary to popular opinion it is alright to feed your Bulldog healthy human food. Go ahead, give them burger, rice and those leftover green beans.
Do not let your dog get fat. Fats dogs have lots of health problems. Feed a good healthy diet. Carrying too much weight at a young age is going to add stress on soft puppy bones and this DOES have an effect on skeletal development.
Be extremely cautious with the English Bulldog as they can overheat very easily. Make sure they have plenty of water and are not left outside in the sun. Remember, they are a very short snouted dog , so overheating can happen very quickly. Bugey absolutely LOVES the water. Whether it be the pool, lake or just the hose, this is one simple way to keep them cooler in the hotter months when they are playing outside. But be careful as most English Bulldogs cannot swim well because of their compact size and short legs.
Your puppies happiness is in your hands. Establish basic training as well as a set of rules for family and pet to live by. And remember, a crate ia a valuable tool, and most pups welcome the confines. It provides a closed and safe haven. It should never be used as a punishment.
Although children and puppies are made for each other, remember, child - puppy playtime should always be supervised. Even if your pup is well socialized with children, youngsters are impulsive and may accidentally hurt each other in play. His amiable temperament and bulk make the Bulldog an excellent companion for children, even young ones. A Bulldog will put up with a lot from a child, although he shouldn't have to, and he'll walk away if he gets tired of being tormented.
Pick a veterinarian that you are comfortable with and that will take the time to answer all your questions. If you do not currently have a vet, ask your friends who they use and who they would recommend. It may also help to find a vet that
is familiar with the snub nosed breed. A good vet is an ever present help in the time of trouble!
Special Note: English Bulldogs can be very sensitive to anesthesia. A 'normal dose' can be lethal. Take extra special care in choosing a veterinarian who is familiar with the breed.
