As a breed they are the most likely of all dog breeds to suffer from hip dysplasia, this affects the joints and can cause them a lot of pain often resulting in arthritis. Some dogs of the breed can also suffer from interdigital cysts, this sees cysts form in between their toes, but it can be easily treated through medication.

They are recognised by their winkled, roped faces, it is important that you regularly clean in between these winkles in order to prevent them from getting any infections in them. Infections can be caused due to natural oils being produced and staying in the winkles, this is also similar to their tails, some Bulldogs have tightly curled tails that tend to be close to their bodies, and these will also need regular cleaning.
