THE ENGLISH BULLDOG - AN ATYPICAL BODY TYPE AND AN AFFECTIONATE NATURE

• A very specific facial and jaw type  The English Bulldog is a brachycephalic breed with the following characteristics: A short head, as wide as it is long, with a marked step in the forehead and a short nose. The English Bulldog’s jaws are wide and square. The lower jaw juts out over the upper jaw and curves slightly upwards (prognathism). This obviously poses problems for grasping its food, the speed of ingestion and in turn food can be left to waste.
• A wrinkled skin  that requires special attention The many skin creases on the English Bulldog can predispose him  to dermatological diseases. These creases are ideal sites for the development of bacterial pyodermatitis or dermatitis. It is recommended to check the skin's cleanliness and disinfect the creases at regular intervals (at least twice a week, or even every day in some cases) to fight the appearance of these diseases.
• A “very active” digestive system Because of his brachycephalic facial and jaw type, the English Bulldog is predisposed to digestive sensitivity and breathing difficulties. In fact, his digestive system tends to become compressed by his diaphragm. The intestinal cells also   receive less oxygen, resulting in a lazy digestion that can lead to a rumbling gut and flatulence.
