The growing bulldog needs a food that will meet its special nutritional requirements in the crucial growth phase. Special attention should be given to its sensitive joints & to strengthening its natural defences. The English Bulldog is a calm balanced family dog & companion with a heart of gold. Its special head shape with its short face (brachycephalic type) means the bulldog has a narrow respiratory system. This can make it an effort to breathe with consequences for for example digestive transit. The special shape of the bulldog´s head can also make food intake difficult so bulldogs need special kibble that are easy to take up & encourage chewing. Bulldogs´ skin is characteristically wrinkly with dampness & warmth harbouring in the folds. Skin sensitivities & coat problems can be a result. The bulldogs body shape makes it liable to joint problems so the joints of this breed need special attention & protection.
