Bulldogs are now popular pets all over the world, and many people do not realize that they can be unhealthy due to their breed’s unique physical features.
The dogs’ newfound popularity has led them to be more susceptible of becoming overweight or obese from overeating on food which puts pressure on their joints, potentially resulting in severe arthritis.
Bulldogs are also more prone to respiratory problems as the short muzzle does not allow for much airflow, so they have a higher risk of heatstroke in warmer climates.
Bulldogs are also prone to eye problems because of their short nose such as cherry eye which is a buildup of fluid on the eyeball or dry eye syndrome that can lead to ulcers in the cornea.
