- Feed a raw diet or a home cooked diet. I can’t express how truly nasty most dog food is. A kibble diet, regardless of how high end, will never be as beneficial as a raw diet.
- Vaccinate slowly and only one at a time. Do not do booster shots – only titer test the blood and confirm the dog has immunity therefore no need to booster. Bulldogs are really sensitive and most vets don’t seem to get this. Including self proclaimed breed specific specialist
- Please don’t feed sugars. Not even a random donut or cookie. Throw them a piece of raw meat or even cooked meat. Makes me CRAY when popular accounts on Instagram show the dog downing things like cake and ice cream as if it makes us super nice parents. Ice cream, whipped cream, all that stuff etc is lethal for pets. You might think this is an exaggerated statement but trust me, it’s not! Breeds like Bulldogs are sensitive and yeast is the greatest enemy. All these skin issues you see are yeast related. Yeast thrives off sugar. An overabundance of yeast is actually linked to carcinoma. Sugar is poison to dogs because they do not have the digestive enzymes to process so it ends up being processed like a toxin. It remains in the system. Cancer and it’s friends feed off sugar. All these cancer rates have everything to do with DIET. Our animals are not designed to eat process the sugars in whipped cream and cake
- Bi-weekly massages to keep their joints lubricated and flexible. Buy the book The Well Adjusted Dog on amazon. Massage the hell out of your fur baby
- Supplements and preventative measures always. Golden paste, probiotics, kelp etc.
- Protect them from your stress and family's stress and remember they are super sensitive and pick up on all vibes. That’s why crystals are amazing! Amethyst, Malachite and even tourmaline will do the job!
