Bulldogs have big personalities, and unique needs! In this guide, we’re diving into the world of daily supplements to help your Bulldog feel their best. Whether you’re wondering if your pup needs a little extra support, or what to add to their routine, we’ve got the lowdown on the best options for Bulldogs and other lovable flat-faced Brachycephalic dog breeds.

Daily Wellbeing Support: Supplements for Bulldogs

The stout, strong and squishy-faced Bulldog is beloved for its adorable looks, charming personality and affectionate nature. If you’re the proud pet parent of a French or English Bulldog, it’s good to know that there are a range of supportive products designed to help maintain your Bully’s wellbeing alongside a healthy balanced diet, regular exercise and daily grooming. 

Common Bulldog health sensitivities that supplements may support:

• Joint health and mobility.
• Skin and coat condition.
• Digestive and gut health.
• Immune system balance.

Joint Health & Mobility Support

Bulldogs have heavy-set bodies and short legs. Due to their frame, and propensity to carry extra weight, they may experience joint stiffness, or reduced mobility over time. A joint supplement may help maintain your Bully’s mobility, flexibility, and comfort as they age.

PetLabCo.’s Joint Care Chews are nutritionist-formulated to support daily joint health. These tasty soft chews are suitable for Bulldogs 12 weeks and older and are given according to weight, making them ideal for both Frenchies and English Bulldogs. With consistent daily use, they may help support:

• Healthy cartilage structure.

PetLabCo.’s Probiotic Chews are soft chews designed to help maintain gut health. They’re ideal for Bulldogs who experience:
