No problem and thanks for the condolences. I was just looking for this to bump it as a reminder about bulldogs and heat. It happens so fast and I don't want anyone to have to go through what I did with Bentley...hopefully his life will save another dog.

So glad I clicked on this article. I knew they did not tolerate heat well but did not know the extent. I have a four month old and he loves to lay on the porch in the sun. I will be sure to print this for the family and keep a much closer eye on my boy! Thank you.

One of my bulldogs just overheated yesterday. Very stressful situation!

thanks a lot for a great article.
as a new bulldog owner i certainly need the reminder and the advice and info.
i live in the canary islands and we dont even have a winter.
our summer is boiling.
my "Buddy" is so energetic i really have to stop him and myself from exerting him.
he comes from a long line of dogs that where bred here so they have adapted to an extent.
but a bulldog is still a bulldog and im gonna go check up on mine right now.

Lola also overheated the other day. A big reminder how careful we have to be. Her breathing totally scared us. I went on a walk with her, it was like 9PM (21:00). I knew about big problems bullies had with heat, but the temperatures weren't high, unfortunately there was quite a bit of humidity and she couldn't handle it. During the walk she looked normal, that's why I kept going, but when we got home her breathing was so scary that we kept putting cold tissues/blankets on her for more than an hour, maybe two. Then she slowly went back to normal, but I had her sleep under my legs for whole night, just to be sure.

But in a way I'm thankful for it. It's better that it happened now, when the heat wasn't that high, as a big reminder for the future, instead of happening in a really warm situation.

Thanks for the reminder! I find myself timing the kids when they take Rufus out to potty ('ok its been 5min' type stuff) I constantly remind them he gets hot faster than they do...

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this information. We just moved to AZ from CA and this info is so valuable. We are very sorry for your loss - bless you for posting this. I have printed it and posted it above our wash tub where we bathe our bully.
