First of all you will need a place your new puppy can call his
own. You may want to purchase a crate two feet by three feet.
Purchase one that has a place to hang water and food bowls.
The crate will be used to housebreak your puppy, a safe place for
your puppy when you are away, and a place for your puppy to
sleep. The choice is up to you, and you know best on what kind of
schedule you will be keeping. If you don't want a crate for your
new puppy a nice doggy bed will do just fine as long as you are
still able to confine you puppy.
Food:
You will want to feed your new bulldog puppy food four times a
day until he is three months of age, from three to six months of
age feed three times a day, from six to twelve months of age feed
two times a day, when your Bully is one year old feed once or
twice a day. Switch your Bulldog to adult dog food at six months of
age.
Always have plenty of water available for your Bulldog all the time.
Feed your new puppy dog food that is all natural. DO NOT FEED
SOY! Some Bulldogs are allergic to soy. When soy filler is mixed
with water it will expand and can cause gastric tortion that may be
fatal to your Bulldog. Follow the amount recommended on the
bag of food and adjust it to your feeding schedule.
Chew Toys:
All new puppies will chew on most anything. Purchase safe chew
toys for your puppy. These toys should be almost
indestructible. You will want to teach your new puppy what he is
allowed to chew on. Never buy your puppy any toy he can swallow
or get stuck in his throat. Nylon chew toys are safe and are
available at most all pet stores. Chew toys will help in your Bully's
dental hygiene. Don't give your bulldog puppy rawhide sticks, pig
ears and pig hooves these are not safe chew toys.
Housebreaking:
Your crate will be your aid in housebreaking your Bully. Put your
puppy in the crate when you are not home and to sleep in during
the night. As soon as your puppy is let out of its crate take it
outside and do not allow it to come back in until it goes. (A little
praise goes a long way) Most all dogs will not soil where they
sleep if they are left out often enough.
Over Heating:
Bulldogs overheat easily. This can be from the temperature,
excitement, exercise, or stress. Bulldogs can die from heat
exhaustion. Whenever you and your Bulldog are out in warm
weather take water with you. If you are going to be out for a while
take along ice and lemon juice. If your Bulldog begins to overheat
and starts to bring up phlegm you must act quickly to cool him
down.
Get your bully out of the heat. Squirt lemon juice in his mouth to
clear away the phlegm. Put a wet towel on him and keep him
calm. If your Bulldog goes down from heat exhaustion, and his
tongue turns blue. Wet him with cold water or cool him with ice.
Lay him in ice or cool water if you can. You must bring his body
temperature down. You can put ice up his anus if necessary.
Vomiting:
Bulldogs have elongated palates and sometimes vomit or bring
up phlegm this is normal. If your Bulldog is doing it constantly
when he is not overheated or excited consult your Vet.
Swimming:
Bulldogs are not natural swimmers. Never leave your Bulldog
unattended near water.
Poisons:
Antifreeze, chocolate, onions, certain lawn chemicals,
rodenticides.
Face Wrinkles:
Keep you Bully's wrinkles clean and dry. Wipe all of the folds on
his face with a wet towel, then dry them really good. Once they're
nice and dry, sprinkle in some gold bond medicated powder and
he's all done.
Vaccination:
Your new puppy will require an initial series of four vaccinations.
Yearly boosters are required after the initial series. Follow your
veterinarians recommendations, your Vet will tell you what the
state law is requiring rabies vaccination.
