They are recommended to have 3 1/8 to 4 1/8 cups of high-quality dog food, divided into two meals. Rather than putting food out all the time, measure their food and feed them twice a day to keep your Bullmastiff in good form.
Treats can be an important aid in training, but giving too many can cause obesity. Safe, clean water should be available at all times to keep them hydrated.
Bullmastiffs don't shed much, and their coats are easy to keep clean and shining with a little brushing with a rubber curry on a daily basis. Brushing them with a rubber grooming mitt or tool or a de-shedding glove once a week will help remove dead hair and keep them looking good.
Keeping them clean and neat does not take so much effort. Begin accustoming them to being brushed and examined when they are still puppy. Handle their paws frequently ? dogs are touchy about their feet ? and look inside their mouth.
Trim their nails once or twice a month if your dog doesn't wear them down naturally to prevent painful tears and other problems. Their ears should be checked weekly for redness or a bad odour, which can indicate an infection.
Your careful weekly exam will help you spot potential health problems early.
Bullmastiffs will require at least two hours of exercise.
Taking them on a brisk stroll two to three times a day should be enough. They make excellent jogging and hiking partners, but you must wait until the dog is two years old to avoid damaging the dog's developing joints.
Physical activity can make them happy and healthy!
They may require more frequent vet visits as early detection is key in giving the best possible treatment of any health conditions that may arise. Routine checkups also provide the chance to track your dog's growth and development and forms a key part of preventative care.
Bullmastiffs are gentle and affectionate to their family. Their calm, easygoing personalities make them ideal pets for families with well-behaved youngsters.
They may also be less tolerant of animal members of a family than of human members. Bullmastiffs are good guard dogs since they were developed to protect the territory from poachers.
These dogs are a protective breed that would put their lives on the line for them.
Bullmastiffs are quick to learn because of their high intelligence. However, they can also be independent and prone to distraction.
So, you'll need to win their loyalty and respect without using threats or physical aggression, leading to resentment. They do best with a combination of firm, fair, consistent rules, positive reinforcement, and rewards for correct behaviour.
Use positive training techniques, rewarding them with praise, play, or treats when they perform commands correctly.
Bullmastiffs can get along well with other dogs and cats if they are properly socialized earlier. Interacting with cats might be challenging for them, especially that they have a strong predatory impulse. And as naturally territorial animals, they aren't fond of living with other dogs of the same gender, regardless of breed. Proper training will help them learn how to behave well around them.
