AC for the heat

[slowly]

Spring is coming and soon summer! Just wondering how you all cool your houses to ensure a safe temp for your bullies? Do you have an AC system in your house? Or just fans?

Currently we have no AC installed. It gets pretty toasty in our house during the summer months... Close to 25 degrees Celsius. Before we got norman we just turn on fans everywhere to mitigate the heat. Now I'm thinking of getting AC....

With bulldogs, you have to make sure they stay cool. Over-heating can be very dangerous. I would think an AC is best. Also, in the summer - in addition to the AC, we put a fan right near Tyson's bed... he sleep so much better with it on.

25 celsius is too warm for a bulldog to be in for longer than a few hours, and even a few hours may be too much depending on the humidity.

You should definitely get an AC.

How do you handle it though? That's way too hot for me. Once it hits the mid 70's here- my AC is on 24/7.

We live in Georgia (the deep south) so AC is mandatory. It is standard in every type of dwelling. We even have an additional AC unit for just the downstairs part of our house so yeah...2 AC units and a pool

Fans will help and 25 deg C (77 deg F.) is getting close to being too hot, but fans will help, I would say if it gets 26 deg C. it is too hot for them. In the summer time we leave out house at 77 def F. and run the ceiling fans, and our bullies are OK.

We have central air for the babies. As soon as it gets warm we put it on and keep it on until the fall.

Thank God for central AC and fan!

You will need AC. ..... we have central air and keep the house set between 70/72 degrees and we also keep the ceiling fan on for them in the room thier crates are in :D

I hate AC, but walk around my house in a sweatshirt in the summer for the comfort of my bulldog and my boyfriend. They're both polar bears if you ask me. But I agree with everyone, 77 is too hot for a bulldog, they need it much cooler.

We have AC as we are in the south.
Last year I had a mini split system installed in the room that the dogs sleep in and hang out most of the time as to give me peace of mind just in case our main AC unit dies in the middle of the summer which it has. The Mini split provides heat as well as AC so there room stays at a constant temp. year round.

I run AC 24/7 once the snow melts... At least that's how my girlfriend explains it to our friends

I know that Boris will appreciate the AC as much as I do!

Hi, I agree with everyone above AC would be a food idea and best for your baby. I'm with others as soon as it gets warm and humid outside we turn the AC on. Last year I had it on from the end of May right through to October. I also have a fan at the end of my bed and one near where the dogs sleep. I am part polar bear and don't do well in the heat either, so 25 in my home would be too hot for me. Lol
