• Cod Liver Oil Capsules support healthy skin, a shiny coat, and overall immune system function and anti-inflammatory properties to aid allergies, autoimmune diseases and skin disorders

COD LIVER OIL CAPSULES 315mg

• It should be noted that garlic is toxic to dogs in large quantities. But it’s also a natural flea and tick repellent in the correct dosage, and contains antioxidants to boost the immune system and cardiovascular health. 

Garlic pearls (odourless) 2mg

---

• White spots on nails (Leukonychia): I would assume it's due to a lack of zinc or calcium and would supplement accordingly.

CALCIUM 100MG

---

• Puppy Limps: are commonly caused by  growing pains, muscle imbalance and joint development. Limps can be supported by Glucosamine and chondroitin to help improve joint lubrication, reduce inflammation and maintain joint cartilage health.

Glucosamine 400mg

---

• Upset Tums: I treat (especially after deworming or when travelling) using a natural product called Slippery Elm, which contains mucilage. This gel-like substance helps soothe and protect the gastrointestinal tract and helps bind the stool for passing.

• Any periods of stress, such as an operation, house move, low-level anxiety or breeding, can be supported with a good quality multivitamin. When we used to rescue Bulldogs, all our dogs were put on SA37 immediately (admittedly, in the 1980s, dog food wasn't so well reached and manufactured as it is now). This product is no longer available, but SF-50 is the next best thing I highly recommend.

• Assess your puppy's specific needs, and if needed, seek a canine nutritionist to guide you on the appropriate dosage and duration for each supplement. Additionally, always choose high-quality supplements from reputable manufacturers to ensure the safety and efficacy of the products.

Top Travel Tips for Bulldog Owners on the Go🚦

• ​Limit direct sunlight, where possible. Park the car in the shade or use sunshades to block direct sunlight from entering the vehicle. If your dog's crate is in direct sunlight when travelling, an airflow-friendly sunshade will block the sun effectively.

• Use portable fans to help improve air circulation within the car and keep your dog cooler. Options include fans that plug into a 12v adaptor, Transcool units or cordless fans that fit onto 18v power-tool batteries.
