Been a busy summer with these two little rascals. I have to admit my nerves been tested and failed a few times.... I have to admit, this guy has stolen my heart. He is such a character. Here he is in his first show at 5 months to the day. He performed like a pro, but didn't place. Our morning...

Vet checkup today. Fezzik is doing great; although he has lost some weight this summer. It was probably due to the stress of vacation but we will be increasing his food amount now that we are home and watch his weight. The vet did say that he could be a candidate for nare surgery because of his...

It is time to buy a new shampoo since I am running out. Fezziks skin is usually pretty good but we are battling face and paw irritation this summer. I have an oatmeal shampoo right now nothing special. We have been doing Epsom salt baths and hibiclens wash for his paws. His paws are wiped...

This humidity is killing me. I am cleaning his face twice a day with witch hazel and using corn starch to dry. I started this regimen after noticing some stinky face. It seems to be working. In the winter I only cleaned once a day with witch hazel. Any other tips or tricks for keeping the face...

Otis has developed some small welts on his legs, chest and neck. We took him to the vet and were told they are allergies. The vet said Otis's case is fairly minor and recommended 50mg of Benedryl 2x per day. We are doing that plus giving him a tbsp of organic unrefined coconut oil with his...

Help! My pup is not happy when left in crate at all. He usually poops even if he had been out right before. We had the crate blocked off so that he just had a small space but he would step in it and get it all over him and his crate sides and door (very hard to clean) so we opened up the whole...

Are you taking your bully/bullies on a summer vacation this year?

Hello everyone, I am looking for suggestions on how to make sure we don't get fleas this summer without the use of harsh oral preventatives. We used Frontline for years but Fletcher was not doing so well with it, it's harsh on his skin and leaves a red, angry spot on his shoulder area pretty...

Hi! I have a 4 1/2 year old English Bulldog named Rowdy. We got her last summer from the friend of a friend. As such, I have no idea what her life was like before we got her. She had some marks on her. Maybe from another animal and maybe from her humans, I don't know. The vet checked her out and...

How do you cool your bulldog down in the summer months? ***This is a very sensitive topic that I will continue to bring up, as I just learned of a bully passing this past weekend due to overheating - note: it was only 73 degrees outside***
