Give Their Natural Oils A Little Helping Hand – We’ve just talked about the natural oils that your pooch produces that keeps their coat looking great – and it’s very important that you give your pooch all they need to produce them efficiently. Look out for specialist foods (or treats) that contain vitamins, minerals, and oils that are designed to promote healthy glossy coats.

One of the most important things to look for when choosing a shampoo for your Bulldog is the pH of the product. Dogs have a skin pH that is higher than our human skin. The dog’s pH is about 6.5 to 7 which puts it in the neutral/basic range. Human pH is more acidic. It’s around 4.5 to 5.5. Some low quality dog shampoos can also be in this range. These products can irritate your Bulldog’s skin, making it feel dry and itchy. If your dog starts scratching his skin it can lead to infections. They will also strip the oil from your dog’s coat. Most good dog shampoos have a pH around 6-7. We’ve all walked into someone’s house at some point or another and been greeted with an overpowering stench of “dog”. It’s a very unpleasant smell, and it’s one that most canine owners don’t realize that they have until someone else points it out to them (because you get used to the smell). There’s a bunch of chemicals inside this product that we’re not going to bother naming (because if they meant anything to you, you wouldn’t be reading this article). All you need to know is that it will control bacteria growth, kill fungal infections, and reduce inflammation. Other compounds inside will reduce redness and itching, and the shampoo itself will deposit a film of material on your dog’s coat. This film is long lasting and provides relief from redness and soreness for several days after application.If your Bulldog is stinky and smelly – say he encounters a skunk or rolls in something really rotten in your yard – there are good neutralizing and deodorizing shampoos. These shampoos are specially made to get rid of bad odors on your dog. There are lots of shampoos made for dry, itchy, irritated, and sensitive skin. Most of them contain various moisturizers and soothing ingredients such as oatmeal and aloe. These products usually avoid the kind of chemicals known for skin irritation. The shampoo is gentle enough to use on a dog that is continually itching. It helps to soothe the skin and clear flakes resulting from extensively dry skin. More to this, it cleans from the skin up leaving your dog fresh for hours. The good thing is that it has a mild apple scent that lasts long.

Your Bulldog’s face will need regular care to keep his wrinkles clean, especially the wrinkles over his nose. You can use a cotton ball kipped in peroxide to clean the wrinkles thoroughly. Then use corn starch or baby powder to help the area dry properly. Be careful that you don’t get any powder in your dog’s eyes. Some people simply use a damp, warm wash cloth or even a baby wipe. No matter what you use, it is important to dry the area after cleaning. Some dogs will need this cleaning on a daily basis while others may only need to have their wrinkles cleaned weekly. Food and dirt can get trapped in the folds of the wrinkles easily which can cause discoloration, flaking, and dermatitis. Our luxurious shampoo gently conditions the coat while moisturizing and nourishing the skin with naturally produced oils

Sensitive Shampoo

If you don’t clean your Bulldog’s wrinkles regularly he can develop skin fold dermatitis. This can occur not just on his face but also in the wrinkles around his tail. If you see signs of infection, take your dog to the vet. Your dog may need a medicated shampoo and baths several times per week to get rid of any bacteria or yeast that have made their homes in the wrinkles. We also recommend that you look for shampoos that are soap-free when possible. You might think of all shampoos as being “soapy” since they have suds but lots of shampoos today don’t use soap. Soap products can dry your dog’s skin and strip the coat of oils. There are many natural cleaners that won’t irritate your dog’s skin or coat. This is a tip that’s only really applicable to small dogs like French Bulldogs, but it’s an important one. The big cavernous space of your shower or bathtub is an unnatural and scary place for a pint-size pooch like the French Bulldog. They can feel trapped and claustrophobic inside, and when this is combined with the sound of rushing water it can all be a little bit too much for them.
