panting

Hank loves to go out numerous times a day and sunbathe. It was fine and I wasn't too concerned when it was winter, but how do I monitor that in the real heat. I've never known a dog to not monitor themselves, but I hear these guys don't?? Does he have to panting to be over heated? I don't...

Hello! We have a (almost) 2 year old male bulldog. He is awesome and we adore him. We both work full time, Monday - Friday jobs. While we are at work he lazes in the same spot on the couch for 9 hours. We are mostly home with him all evening and as long as it's not too cold or too hot he goes...

I was watching TV, Bennie was in his bed a couple of meters away from me. Suddenly he just got up, he was walking stiff, back humped, claws clinched out, head almost down on the floor, stumbling like he was going to fall. I rushed up to help him and he kept walking forward for another couple...

What is the hottest temperature you will walk your bully in? I just took Fezzik for a walk and I think we overdid it. He was making noises I have never heard from him before and breathing and snorting hard. It is 75 out and i think we did 1.25 miles. He is fine now that he is inside with ac and...

We brought Bifi to a newly opened dog park near us. They named it Dog garden. Bifi had a blast! So many doggie behinds to sniff and so many dogs he could try to hump. We met an English Bulldog too and they were as excited to see Bifi as we are to see their dog lol. It was a great day for my boy...

Sorry guys this may be a long post but i'm stumped on how to proceed with Brutus. As most of you know Brutus is a wild guy. He's stubborn, free-sprited and pretty much brutus does what brutus wants with in boundaries we have gave him. We are kinda at a tipping point, well Brian my husband is...

Hi. Our 12 1/2 year old English Bulldog has been with us for nearly three years. He just recently started panting almost constantly. It's been going on for almost four days. Prior to this, he only panted if he was stressed, nervous, or had just walked. It's not hot here yet. He's inside all the...

Hi All! I'm brand new to this forum and was hoping I could get some advice from people that have been through this experience! I have an 11 month old, 50lb English bulldog named Beef. I was told by a vet that he probabily has an elongated soft palate and is pushing us to go through with the...

Maximus has nights where he doesn't sleep all night long, and he sits up panting all night long! It is really a problem, and troublesome to hear/see. I don't know what would make him not sleep, and I don't know what would cause him to be Panting all night long. The AC is on, so it certainly is...
