Feeding Bull Terrier puppies

Don’t rush to change dog food for new Bull Terriers. Any change in eating habits should be gradual, and the habit of feeding meals on time should be developed from an early age. If the Bull Terrier is under 3 months old, it should be fed with goat milk powder. Never feed it milk! After 3 months, you can feed soaked dog food and gradually switch to dry food. Although the Bull Terrier can chew bones, veterinarians do not recommend feeding bones as they may scratch the stomach and cause bleeding or even ulceration. Teeth cleaning bones or molar sticks can be used instead.

Bull Terrier Living Environment

Although it is produced in the UK, the Bull Terrier does not like cold and humid climates. A warm and dry environment will make him very happy. However, it should be noted that white Bull Terriers should avoid excessive exposure to the hot sun in summer to avoid burning the skin. If kept outdoors, the kennel should be at a certain distance from the ground to keep it dry and prevent pest infestation.

Bull Terrier Exercise

Because the Bull Terrier is too energetic, the amount of exercise he needs is greater than that of ordinary pet dogs. It is more appropriate to go out for about 30 minutes of walks and some games twice a day. It is best to let it play to its heart's content regularly. However, there are also some Bull Terriers who are shy by nature and do not want to go out. In this case, there is no need to force it. Just spend more time with him at home.

Daily Care of Bull Terrier

Nail Trimming

Bull Terrier’s nails should be trimmed or filed regularly. If he walks frequently on hard surfaces, his nails will naturally wear down quickly and less need to be trimmed. However, nails that are not in regular contact with the ground should still be trimmed regularly. When the Bull Terrier makes a sound of nails scraping the ground while walking, it is time to cut his nails. It is best to use special scissors with a round mouth. When cutting, you should also be careful not to cut behind the blood line. When the light is good, pick up his hands and feet and look carefully. You can see an obvious dividing line in the nails. In the front is the excess cuticle, and in the back are the ends of blood vessels and nerves. This line is the blood line. If you are not careful, If the bleeding line is cut, hemostatic agent must be used to stop the bleeding.

Fur care

The Bull Terrier's fur does not require special care. It only needs to be regularly groomed with rubber gloves or a brush to remove the dead hair that naturally falls off. Bull Terriers change their hair twice a year. During the hair change period, you can comb it with a brush or gloves to remove dead hair. This can also stimulate fat secretion and make the hair more shiny.

Bathing

Generally speaking, taking a bath once every two weeks to a month is enough. When taking a bath, be sure to rinse away all the bath liquid with clean water, because the remaining bath liquid may cause skin allergies in the Bull Terrier. It is important to note that you should never use human soap, soap or bath liquid to bathe your Bull Terrier. These products are too strong for the Bull Terrier's delicate skin, and they will break down the waterproof oil in the protective layer of the skin.

Notes

It is very necessary to clean the ears of the Bull Terrier. You canClean regularly during daily care. However, it should be noted that only the superficial layer of the ear socket is to be cleaned. Avoid inserting cotton swabs deep into the ear socket to avoid damaging the hearing.
