Summer Dangers for your Dog

Jennifer Heiner serves as retail director of a running company based in New Jersey. The company maintains its brand of high-performance running apparel. A natural animal lover, Jennifer Heiner is particularly fascinated with bulldogs. Bulldogs are known to have faces with perpetual frowns, barrel-like physiques, and hanging jowls. They are gentle and affectionate companions to people, especially the kids. They can adapt well to apartment life. Here are some of the most common breeds of bulldogs.

1. English Bulldogs are friendly, docile, and outgoing, which makes them the most popular choice for a family pet. According to history, English Bulldogs were first developed in England back in the 13th century. At that time, English Bulldogs were used for bull-baiting. When the grim sport was banned worldwide, English Bulldogs were bred for temperament and became very popular with families in England.
2. 2. Also known as Frenchies, French Bulldogs are bred down in size and are excellent family companions. Frenchies are playful, loving, adaptable, and smart. Frenchies merged during England’s industrial revolution, and were found in most apartments owned by lacemakers in Nottingham. However, when lacemaking shifted to France, the lacemakers moved with their Frenchies.
3. 3. American Bulldogs are healthier and more agile than their English counterpart. They are very affectionate and make good family pets. American Bulldogs evolved from English Bulldogs who first arrived in the US in the early 19th century. American Bulldogs were first used as companions for farmers and ranchers. When farming became less popular in the US, American Bulldogs also evolved to become companion pets.

We say this EVERY summer, but the rising temperatures and humidity are dangerous for these, and other short snouted dogs. The short snout on the bulldog can make it difficult for them to breathe in hot and/or humid weather, so it’s best to keep them indoors on hot days. Please ensure that you are keeping your bulldogs inside and safe on hot days, in an air conditioned environment, with access to fresh, cool, drinking water.
