Bulldog Puppy Blog

Family pets are not only devoted and loyal companions for the homes, but they are considered as family! Responsible owners who treat their dogs as members of their family do not leave them in kennel care or at home with a sitter. Vacations and trips out of town are never complete without them. However, travelling by plane would need preparation for the dog’s safety as well as for meeting airline regulations.

Depending of the size of the English Bulldog Puppy, the correct kennel or cage must be secured. Dimensions measured are length of the dog from nose to the root of the tail, height from ground to the elbow, width of shoulders, and the standing height of the ground to the head. These factors are calculated to get the proper size. Puppies must have enough room to stand on it. Food and water can also be equipped on it and it also has a liquid absorbent bottom.

When seeing or thinking of a Bulldog, do you conjure up images of a greyhound? Hmmmmm…I didn’t think so. well, albeit their short legs, the Bulldog is not a fan of the gym, so to speak. They are a generally lazy breed that..well…loves to laze about. So it is up to you to MAKE them go to the proverbial gym!! Since they are genetically prone to putting on weight, it is not a good idea to only feed them and to cuddle them, but to also play an active role in looking out for their health by exercising them.

A lack of exercise can have a detrimental effect on the lungs and heart of this breed. Since the concentration span of a Bulldog is not that long, it is best advised to make the exercise sessions short but fullfulling as well. Make this a daily routine. It can be short running or longer walks around the block. It will do you both good; and it can be even a basis for mutual bonding, since he will see that you are keen to play and to take up an active role in spending quality time together. Once your beloved Bulldog, has expelled energy, he can become more focused on training sessions (which should also be short, mind you) as well as take up his favorite spot in the house…all tired out!
