Expert Grooming Tips For Your Bulldog

I groom my Bulldog once or twice a week and I try to focus on taking away the dead hair while still gently revitalizing the skin glands to produce healthy oils. Making the session fun with treats and a soothing voice ensures that my Bulldog will look forward to this time spent together.
If there is a section of fur that is especially matted, I use a touch of cooking oil and try slowly to work it out. If it still seems impossible, I will generally just cut it away with scissors rather than hurt my Bulldogs' skin.
Anytime I get a new brush, I will rake it across the back of my hand or arm as a test of what it will feel like to my Bulldog. If it is painful or irritable, I will not use it because I don't want to scratch my dogs' sensitive skin.
Since parasites tend to hide underneath the fur, I keep my eyes peeled for any signs of them. In addition, any redness or swollen spots are noted and reported to the vet immediately.
