Our bulldog will walk from our right side to the left side and then back to the right side, often requiring us to swing the leash around us to accomodate her. She does pull as well, and we got the julius harness, but she is still too small for the size that we bought. I would like to correct her...

Our english bulldog gets so extremely excited when she meets a stranger that she starts pulling so hard and is not redirectable. I often have to pick her up and take her away but this is not correcting the behavior. I will kneel down behind her and hold her by the collar with my hands and ask...

Is it just me, or do bullys tend to decline in health more rapidly than other dogs? Even little things... for example. i ran out of the medicated powder I put in Frank's face wrinkles. I ordered some on Amazon and figured he would be okay without it for 2-3 days. Here we are on day 2 and I...

This started about 4-6 weeks ago... Sometimes Boeboe doesn't want to eat in the mornings, that hasn't been a problem before but now if she doesn't eat she'll puke up yellow bile and after that it's very hard to get her to eat anything which adds to the problem, it's like an evil circle. Then I...

Hi everyone, This is my first time posting so I hope I'm doing this right! I have a 7 month old English bulldog puppy. Recently he has developed sores on his chin. Originally we thought they were from playing too rough, as they started to crack and bleed. After doing some (okay a lot) of...

I have been reading up on anal sac issues because Macon has been having problems. One of the articles I read said to add a powdered fiber, like benefiber to their diet. It said that the problem can be because with quality foods there is less poo and it can be the reason for the problem. Has...

Bubba is 9.5 months old. He is doing very well in his training as far as crate, house, socialization, and traveling. We have even gotten to where he will roam/sleep freely at night. The problem is his continual licking of our skin. Day or night he always seems to want to like our skin. Can...

I saw this on my FB page, and thought I'd share it with you. My son bought two rawhide bones for Dozer and Blossom in the summer time, and I told him they were unsafe and not to give them to him. He said he would supervise them when they had them, and he gave the bones to them. Dozer had licked...

Hello! We have a 4 month old puppy who we've started to walk a few weeks ago. Problem is... is that he's not that into it. We live in a city and he's either distracted by what's going on -or- he just doesn't want to move. Either way he's stopping every few feet. Any suggestions of what has...

I tried to do a search but nothing came up. One of the bulldogs I'm looking after has a tongue that sticks out almost all the time. She has a huge underbite which is likely the problem. The tip of her tongue can get quite dry and is a bit darker red than the rest of her tongue. Looks like...

I am so upset. I hated people. That's all there is to it. So, here's my rant! My neighbors and their dog. All summer they're been complaining that their dog has fleas and asking if mine do. The answer is the same every damn time. No, my dogs don't have fleas. I treat them BEFORE there is a...
