American Bulldog Dog Breed Grooming
By 
American Bulldogs boast having short, tight, close coats which in short means they are low maintenance on the grooming front. However, because they are prone to suffer from skin allergies, it’s best to give them the once over a few times a week. The earlier a skin problem is detected the better because if left for too long, it could flare up into something painful and a lot more severe. A regular wipe over with a chamois leather will also keep an American Bulldog’s coat nice and glossy.
It’s also important to check a dog’s ears on a regular basis and to clean them when necessary. If too much wax builds up in a dog’s ears, it can lead to a painful infection which can be hard to clear up. In short, prevention is often easier than cure when it comes to ear infections.
