Hello! I'm so thrilled to have found this site! Our English Bulldog, Rukus, is actually our Grandson. He is 7 and so, so sweet! I'm trying to help in that he has bad allergies, licks his paws all the time, when he's really bad does his "Stevie Wonder" which leaves lot's of spots on the rug that are sometimes bloody and have a bad odor. We have taken him to the vet and they give him steroids and antibiotics which help until he's off them. My daughter used to feed him Royal Canine for Bulldogs (very expensive) and now he eats Rachel Ray Nutrisse. Only dry food. His skin is dry...we used hypoallergenic shampoo. Any advice from you experienced owners? I am looking forward to chatting with you and learning more about these precious animals!!!
