English Bulldogs - Puppies - General Care Tips
English Bulldogs can be called a disease resistant breed. It is true that some Bulldogs can suffer from dysplasia, cherry eye, obesity and some other diseases. Most of them though, can be prevented provided an owner follows pieces of advice given by veterinarians, nutritionists and experienced breeders.
Please, wipe your Bulldog’s face over with a damp cloth. Its wrinkles appear to be the source of problems if not regularly looked after. This every day procedure would also allow you to find out if your puppy has fleas and ticks. They are not only annoying to your pet but also provoke some serious diseases. Ears and eyes must be cleaned as well to manage various infections.
Remember that the Bulldog does not like heat. Hence, keep your puppy in a cool place in summer and provide it with fresh water. Food must be available to the puppy only at fixed periods, according to a specially tailored schedule. Note that a puppy needs more meals a day than an adult dog. Start with 4-5 times a day and then gradually reduce the number of meals. Make sure to avoid commercial puppy foods with a high level of protein. English Bulldogs need your wise care to grow healthy and happy.
