Care Tips
from Dr. Jessica Greenberg, Associate VeterinarianRegular vet check-ups are a must for Bulldogs.
English Bulldogs need regular exams to detect problems early. As a brachycephalic breed, Bulldogs can have an elongated soft palate and narrowed external nasal passages which, if not corrected, can lead to respiratory failure after strenuous exercise or when overheated. -GailWolfe,DVM
Keep track of what you are feeding your Bulldog.
Bulldogs are notorious for having allergies – food allergies being one of them. If you tend to switch diets frequently, consider saving the labels. Your vet may recommend a novel protein diet in the future and you will need a running list of foods that your pup has eaten. -StacyChoczynski,DVM
Smell your bulldog’s feet and folds.
Bulldogs are prone to an infection of the feet called pododermatitis. I recommend keeping the feet dry and smelling the feet regularly. The same holds true for the facial folds, which may stay damp from excessive tearing. -StacyChoczynski,DVM
Training Tips
from Dr. Jessica Greenberg, Associate VeterinarianStart potty training early (and be patient).
English Bulldogs are one of the most stubborn breeds. This can make training challenging at times, as they want to do what they want, when they want. It's important to set rules and boundaries with Bulldogs so they understand you make the rules; this prevents unwanted behaviors. Potty training is an important one to start with and includes a combination of crate training to get them on a good set schedule, supervised hang out time, and rewarding them every time they go potty outside. Confinement is the absolute key – they are incredibly food motivated, which helps to make this easier. -LenaAbuarafeh
Choose the right exercise for your Bulldog.
This breed is not one that needs a lot of exercise, which makes sense as to why they are frequently trained to ride skateboards. Riding a skateboard takes minimal energy and they can coast along. A Bulldog needs more repetitions in order for you to train them, but they are not unintelligent like some people suggest. They wouldn’t be able to be trained to ride skateboards and surf if that were true. Training a Bulldog to do something that comes more naturally (because of their short legs) will help keep them mentally stimulated. -DianaLudwiczak
