The Simple and Effective Way to Clean Your Bullies Wrinkles

10/11/2023 | Southeast Bully Kennels |

It’s no secret that bullies and similar breeds are loved for their distinctive, adorable wrinkles. However, these very folds also require extra care to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. If ignored, they can become a breeding ground for bacteria, leading to infections and discomfort. Here at Southeast Bully Kennels, we want to share an easy, cost-effective method for cleaning your dog’s wrinkles using just two household items: water and hydrogen peroxide.

Hydrogen peroxide, widely known for its antiseptic properties, and water, when combined in the right proportion, can work wonders for maintaining your bullies’s facial hygiene. This simple solution can gently clean the wrinkles, leaving them fresh and free from harmful bacteria.

To prepare the solution, mix equal parts of hydrogen peroxide (3% concentration, safe for pet use) and water. The 50/50 ratio ensures a balance between effectiveness and gentleness, preventing any possible skin irritation.

Once your solution is ready, dip a clean, soft cotton ball into it. Squeeze out the excess solution, ensuring the cotton ball is damp and not dripping. Gently but thoroughly, wipe each wrinkle on your bullies face. Be careful to avoid their eyes, as the peroxide can irritate them.

This routine not only cleans the wrinkles but also helps to keep them dry, reducing the risk of bacterial build-up. However, it’s just as important to dry these areas thoroughly after cleaning. Use a dry cotton ball or a soft towel to pat the wrinkles dry.

This simple, DIY method can go a long way in keeping your bulldog’s wrinkles clean and healthy. Always remember, though, that every dog is unique. If your furry friend shows any signs of discomfort or irritation after using the solution, please consult your vet immediately.

At Southeast Bully Kennels, we’re passionate about the wellbeing of your pets. We believe that with the right care and attention, your bullies wrinkles can remain a charming feature without becoming a health issue. Happy cleaning!
