Bulldogs have a strange phenomenon, which is the only reason why hot weather is not suitable for them to travel. Most bulldogs like the opportunity to lie in the sun.
There are many ways for dogs to dissipate heat, but mainly through breathing. Some hot parts may be less, such as belly hair coming out.
But people don't like dogs sweating, only their feet sweat outward, and they can only breathe by cooling down.

3. How to raise a five-month-old French bulldog?
1, diet
Dog food with rich nutrition and good quality should be selected. Besides dog food, vitamins and calcium should be supplemented. In the case of calcium, liquid calcium is the best, followed by calcium powder, and calcium tablets are the worst. The most important thing about calcium is absorption. It's no use absorbing it if it's not delicious. Bulldogs must pay attention to calcium supplementation, especially bulldogs 8 months ago.
Dog food should be fed four times a day for 2-3 months, preferably after soaking. Three times a day for 3-5 months and twice a day for 5- 12 months. 1 year-old can use it once a day. It is suggested that some meat and a small amount of carrots can be mixed in dog food at ordinary times (it must be cooked), and egg yolk can be fed to dogs with loose stools (it is best not to eat protein for dogs under 5 months, which will lead to indigestion). Eat chicken liver every few days (don't feed too much at a time, it will cause vitamin A poisoning).
You can't breastfeed. Dogs will have diarrhea if they eat it. When they grow up, they can breastfeed. Yogurt can be fed for 4 or 5 months to help digestion. You can feed some bone soup (with the big bones of pigs or cattle and sheep).
It is forbidden to feed chicken and duck bones (hard, easy to stab the esophagus, causing bleeding or suffocation), human food (too salty for dogs, which will affect the development of bones and hair), chocolate and coffee products. Anyway, don't feed anything. You can't feed too many popsicles in summer. Dogs' stomach temperature is very high, and there is a big contrast between hot and cold, so they will get sick.
2, the usual life.
Be sure to get him a comfortable, spacious and ventilated nest. Because Dou Ying is lazy, he sleeps most of the day. I often take him for a walk in the community, one is to smooth my nails, and the other is to breathe the air.
Don't help him cut his nails, because once he fails, he will be afraid from now on. The best way is to take him for a walk on the thick concrete floor of the community.
More * * * on your neck, or scratch yourself * * * on each other's meat, because your own * * * can't be scratched by yourself. If you want to help him, he will be very happy.
Sometimes don't force a dog to do things it doesn't like, such as seeing a doctor. He has no hair in winter and is afraid of the cold. Be sure to dress him. Buy him some toys. My family likes ball better, and I can't get tired of playing it every time.
3. Pay attention to heatstroke prevention in summer.
Take the dog out or travel far away from home. If you encounter heatstroke, the most important thing is to cool the dog as soon as possible. The easiest way is to wash the water on the bulldog, especially the water on the head and neck, and cool the blood flowing to the head as soon as possible to avoid brain damage. It should be noted that it may take a long time for the dog to completely cool down.
Another option is to find a shop selling frozen food and buy one or two bottles of ice water on the side of the dog's head or neck as a temporary ice pack, but this method has limited effect after all. Dogs can drink some ice water when their temperature drops, but it's best not to let them drink too much before their temperature drops to normal, or your dog will vomit or suffocate.
Traveling with dogs in hot weather, especially putting dogs in hot cars and lying on towels soaked in cold water, can effectively prevent heatstroke. But remember not to cover the dog with a wet towel, which will only prevent the heat from emitting.
The dangers caused by hot weather are generally avoidable. As long as the above common-sense preventive measures are taken, there will be no problem.
