How to care!
Exercise
The English Bulldog does not require a lot of exercise, but they do need daily walks to maintain their physical health and prevent obesity. They are a low-energy breed and enjoy spending time relaxing with their family.
Nutrition
English Bulldogs require a balanced, low-fat diet with high-quality protein to maintain their weight and overall health. Feed them twice a day and monitor their weight to prevent obesity.
Grooming
The English Bulldog's short coat is easy to maintain and only requires occasional brushing to remove loose hair. Clean their wrinkles regularly to prevent infections and irritation. Bulldogs tend to drool, so try to keep their face clean and dry.
