English Bulldog Care
This page gives instructions on how to provide proper English Bulldog care for diet, grooming, safety issues and more. First of all, keep in mind that an English Bulldog can overheat very easily so you will need to limit his exposure to high temperatures. Bulldogs need to remain indoors where there is air conditioning if it's hotter than 85 degrees outside. Occasional potty breaks in the backyard are okay, just keep them as brief as possible. Always make sure your English Bulldog has adequate fresh drinking water to keep hydrated. Finally, you will want to limit his exercise, playtime and exertion levels during those hot days.
Providing a safe and comfortable sleeping area is another very important aspect of proper Bulldog care. We recommend using a high quality, wire dog crate for your dog's sleeping quarters. Avoid the plastic crates and carriers because these may not give ample air flow or circulation to your Bulldog. Bulldogs have also been known to chew up these plastic crates thus creating a possible choking hazard. So keep it safe, always use a metal, wire dog crate! If you are looking for a quality wire crate, "Precision Pet" manufactures some of the best ones on the market today. Now that you have the right crate, make it soft and comfortable for your English Bulldog. Big fluffy pillows, soft blankets and sheepskin rugs are perfect choices. Bulldogs might look rough and tough but they love to be pampered. So go ahead and spoil them in comfort!
Feeding a quality and nutritious dog food is a necessity for your daily English Bulldog care. The Bully is a special breed and as such, requires a special diet. The Bulldog is born with loose joints and is prone to food allergies so finding a dog food that addresses these issues is very important to say the least. A quality diet combined with supplements will help insure healthy hips, joints, skin and hair as well as boost the immune system. For more specific details about the Bulldog diet, please visit our

Another aspect of English Bulldog care is grooming. Although the Bulldog is not a high-maintenance breed, there are a few things to be familiar with. Among these are brushing, bathing, nail trimming and the cleaning of wrinkles. Of these four, only one-the cleaning of wrinkles, needs to be done everyday.
