Tips on Grooming Your Bulldog

    Moderate Maintenance: Regular cleaning of the face and ears will keep the Bulldog healthy and looking good. Having handy pet wipes at the ready will make this daily process a breeze. Their nails should be trimmed regularly with a nail clipper or grinder to avoid overgrowth and cracking. Their ears should be checked regularly to avoid a buildup of wax and debris which can result in an infection. Skin fold should be cleaned regularly to avoid infection. Teeth should be brushed regularly.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Bulldog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an important element of general pet care. Combing really helps to keep your Bulldog dog's coat in good condition by eliminating loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also serves to help to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a gleaming coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to reduce the need to bath and therefore decrease the regularity of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Bulldog dog are activities that help to reinforce the good connection bond between your dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Bulldog

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend on each personal dog. Dogs tend to contrast in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their latest activities.

    Dogs with short coats commonly require much less brushing and grooming contrasted to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more quickly.

    Some very short-haired pet dogs may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Pet dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should keep an eye on the condition of their dog's coat, searching for any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a couple of minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.
