Care tip - Keep your Bulldog Cool

Keep your Bulldog Cool

Since dogs don’t sweat, they pant to cool themselves off. Since Bulldogs have a very short nose, they cannot cool themselves as other dogs do. Because of this, they are very prone to overheating. Make sure that your Bulldog is not left outside or in a car anytime when the temperature reaches past 80 degrees. Provide access to air conditioning and/or shade at all times during the summer months. If taking your dog on a walk, be sure to do so in the early morning or during the evenings to avoid the strong sun.
