Bulldogs are prone to obesity due to their low activity levels and love for food, leading to various health complications.
Their flat faces make Bulldogs susceptible to breathing difficulties, such as snoring, snorting, and even more severe conditions like brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS).
Bulldogs often suffer from skin issues like allergies, dermatitis, and infections due to their wrinkles and folds, requiring regular cleaning and maintenance.
Their heavy build puts strain on their joints, leading to conditions like hip dysplasia and arthritis, causing discomfort and mobility issues.
Bulldogs are prone to eye problems such as cherry eye, entropion, and dry eye syndrome, requiring regular veterinary care and monitoring.
Their brachycephalic skulls and crowded teeth make Bulldogs susceptible to dental problems like periodontal disease and tooth decay.
Due to their short noses, Bulldogs have difficulty regulating body temperature and are prone to heatstroke, making them sensitive to hot weather.
