Care is a very important part in English Bulldog's lifetime. You need to pay constant attention to the dog's hygiene if you want to avoid unpleasant procedures at the vet.
English Bulldog will not need frequent bathing, no more frequently, than once a year. The main and important thing is everyday brushing with bristle brush and special cloth for dog grooming. When necessary, you can use dry shampoos and special lotions. It will help you to keep your dog's wool in excellent condition and will make it even more similar to soft toy.
English Bulldog needs special wrinkle care – you need to clean its wrinkles with specially wet wipes every day. You also need to use special eye and ear care drops for Bulldog regularly. Special toothpastes with herbs for animals will help you to keep your pet's teeth, gums and fresh breathing.

Don't forget to take into account the exact mix of all the components, including chondroitin, as these dogs often have joints problems with age.
English Bulldog should be in good keep as it is the breed card, but the dog shouldn't be fat, as it, except non-aesthetic appearance, may cause problems in cardiovascular system and will make it difficult for Bulldog to breathe.
