💖 Personality & Behavior

Bulldogs are the ultimate couch potato buddies! They love to sleep, snore, and cuddle. Even though they look tough, they're actually one of the gentlest dogs around. They can be a bit stubborn, but they're super loyal and love being part of the family fun (especially if it involves sitting still)! 🛋️

🍖 Food & Treats

Bulldogs LOVE their food, but we have to be careful not to let them get too round! They need healthy dog food in just the right amounts. Their flat faces make them messy eaters, so you might need a towel ready! 🍖

🎾 Play & Activities

Favorite Games & Activities:

  • Short, slow walks
  • Chewing toys
  • Gentle tug-of-war
  • Relaxing in the shade
  • Cuddle sessions

Bulldogs aren't big fans of running marathons! They prefer short, easy walks when the weather is cool. A little bit of gentle play and lots of rest is their idea of a perfect day. Remember, they can get too hot easily, so keep them cool and relaxed! ☀️

🏡 Living Environment

Bulldogs are perfect for city life and apartments! They don't need a huge yard and are happy hanging out indoors. They LOVE air conditioning on hot days and soft beds to nap on. As long as they're near you, they're happy! 🏙️
