When taking your bulldog for walks or playing outside be mindful of the temperature and monitor your bulldog for signs of overheating, distress or heatstroke. A small plastic clam swimming pool is a great way for your bulldog to play and cool down, but just like children they should never be left unattended around water. In summer it is recommended that you take them out in the morning or evening, avoiding the heat of the day. Always make sure you have fresh water and allow them to rest regularly. If walking on the pavement place your hand on the concrete to make sure it isn’t too hot as it can burn their paws, you should be able to comfortably leave your hand there for around 5 seconds. A good paw wax will act as a shield against all elements.
