British Bulldog needs 2 to 3 cups of high-quality food, divided into two meals. Maintain proper weight, but be careful not to overfeed. Groomers and veterinarians often see overweight dogs. Any diet should be appropriate for their age. Clean, fresh water should be available at all times.

Bulldogs also sheds. However, they do not shed as much as other breeds, and when they do, their hair is less visible on the ground, furniture, and other surfaces. Baths every now and again, as well as weekly brushings with a horsehair mitt or de-shedding glove to remove dead hairs, will keep him looking great.

Grooming them does not require much work. Clippers or a combination of clippers and stripping (a method in which the coat is thinned and shortened using a sharp, comb-like tool called a stripping knife) can be used to trim their coat.

If your dog's nails don't break off naturally, trim them once or twice a month to avoid painful tears and other issues. Check their lips, ears, nose, throat, eyes, and feet for sores, rashes, or symptoms of illness such as redness, tenderness, or inflammation. Ears should have a pleasant odour and be free of wax or gunk, and eyes should be clean and free of redness or discharge.

Make grooming a positive experience filled with praise and rewards, and you'll lay the groundwork for easy veterinary exams and other handling when he's an adult.

Bulldogs are active dogs that require a good amount of exercise. They need around an hour of daily activity. They make excellent exercise companions. They build strong links with their family, so activities with family members should be included in their workout routines.

Scheduled six-monthly health check visits with your vet are important to ensure they are healthy and happy throughout all life stages. In these annual visits, your vet will complete a physical examination, take your dog's temperature and check their heartbeat, among other things.

Routine maintenance for your dog gives you a chance to track your dog's growth and development, discuss any concerns with your vet, and form a key part of preventative care.

English Bulldogs make fantastic family pets and are extremely affectionate toward most children. They have maternal instincts, especially when it comes to young children, and will keep an eye on them.

They are also people-oriented, with a tendency to be extremely loyal to family members, even children.

English Bulldogs are intelligent and easy to train. They approach training with an independent spirit but with the desire to please. Regular and steady obedience training is advised. If you compliment him on a job well done, they'll quickly learn anything you teach.

English Bulldogs can get along very well with other pets in the family. However, some Bulldogs may act aggressively toward other dogs of the same sex, especially when provoked. Proper socialization is needed at an early age to teach them how to properly engage with others.
