What You Can Do About Bulldog Acne 

The Right Stuff

Feed them quality food. This is sort of a no brainer, but I have to mention it because there are dog owners who aren’t aware of the garbage that’s in some of the popular dog food brands. Look at the ingredients list and if real meat isn’t the fist ingredient and you’re seeing terms like cornmeal and by-product then it’s not for you beloved bullie. If you’re not sure, just ask your vet. They often have great recommendations for quality dog foods that are great for bulldogs.

Adequate Drinking Water

Make sure they have enough water. Again, another no brainer. Think about what happens to your face when you don’t drink enough water. It’s gets dry, you break out, etc. The same happens to them. So, try and monitor their bowls. Make note of how often it’s empty and be sure to fill it when you can. If you find that you’re not able to keep up with it, consider investing in a dog water dispenser that will continually fill the bowl as it empties.

Clean Their Bowls

Do you like to eat off dirty dishes? Probably not. It’s a common thing to overlook as a dog owner, but their food and water bowls should be cleaned on a regular basis. Maybe not every day, but at least a few times a week.

Old food particles, dirt, and slobber float around and contaminate the dishes and when you fill them with new food and water, your dog is then eating it. Not only does this cause more acne problems, but it can also affect their health.

Clean Their Sleeping Area

Whether it’s an old blanket, an old chair, a doggie bed, or a kennel, your dog’s sleep area should be kept clean. Remember, they bring in dirt and other bits from outside, they drool, and they shed. All of his builds up where they sleep and creates an unclean environment. If your bulldog has open sores from pimples on its face, then this will just make it worse.

Brush Their Teeth

I know, it’s sounds silly. But it’s not. Keeping your pet’s teeth and gum healthy will help cut down on the gross things that can get trapped within it’s skin folds. A good brushing at least once a week with vet recommended doggie toothpaste can really help you out.

Clean Their Toys

If their mouths are dirty and full of gunk, then they go and chew on a toy for an hour that toy then becomes containment with germs for the next chew session. Try and stick with rubber toys that are easy to thoroughly clean. Nothing plush, made of fabric or rope because those things are breeding ground for disgusting substances. All things that contribute to bulldog acne.

Conclusion

I hope that helped you out. When my bullie starts breaking out I just makes sure to start with washing her ace and then proceed to follow these steps. If you do, then their painful pimples will begin to clear up in a few days. But, if they get worse you should probably call your vet as it may be more than just regular acne.
