GROOMING

The first part in a Bulldog grooming routine is to brush two or three times a week using the soft bristle brush or the rubber brush. Start at the tail and brush against the grain until you have brushed the entire body. Then brush the body once again, this time going with the grain. Then rub down your dog to help distribute all their natural oil throughout their entire coat. The next thing you will need to consider for a Bulldog grooming routine is the bath.


Your bulldog grooming routine should incorporate a bath every two or three months, although they may be needed more often if your dog gets dirty. You should only use a mild dog shampoo that has been recommended to you by your vet, the breeder or a pet store. Place two drops of mineral oil in each eye and place cotton balls in the ears in order to prepare your dog for the bath. Then use a rubber brush while washing to help remove all shedding hairs.

Depending on your preference you can dry with a towel or blow dryer after rinsing. Use the hound brush during drying since this will help to keep the coat flat and smooth. Keep the nose soft by apply some petroleum jelly and keep the ears free of wax by carefully cleaning with a cotton tip swab. To remove the stains beneath the eyes use a small dab of boric acid on a cotton ball. Do this once a day until the stain are gone and then clean the area at least once a week in order to keep the stains from reappearing.
