Bulldogs are calm, loyal, and content with short walks — but their flat faces, stocky builds, and tendency toward obesity make daily health monitoring more important than most breeds.

How much exercise does a Bulldog need?

2 short walks, 10–15 minutes each

Never walk a Bulldog in heat. They overheat dangerously fast. Stick to early morning and evening walks, and keep them short. Track walk times in DogApp to maintain consistency.

Feeding your Bulldog

2 meals per day

Bulldogs gain weight quickly and it's extremely hard on their joints. Precise meal and treat logging is essential.

Grooming schedule

Weekly brushing, daily face fold and tail pocket cleaning

Skin folds trap bacteria and cause infections. Daily cleaning reminders prevent painful and expensive vet visits.

Health concerns to watch for

Brachycephalic airway syndrome
Hip dysplasia
Cherry eye
Skin fold dermatitis
Heat stroke
Obesity

Recommended vet schedule: Every 4–6 months due to breed-specific health risks
