The Beloved Bulldog: What Makes Them Pup-tacular

Frenchies, American Bulldogs, English Bulldogs — they’re all totally furbulous pooches, right?

Even though they’re all different in their own wonderful way, with little quirks, distinct looks, and bubbly personalities, they’ve got some stuff in common for sure: endlessly lovable and intelligent traits. Whichever Bulldog you’ve got, you can expect a pawsome companion who’ll always want to hang out, snuggle up, and go on adventures.

But that’s not the only thing all Bulldogs share; they’re also prone to some breed-specific health problems. As a Bulldog pet parent, it’s important to know what kind of health issues can arise, to ensure you’re fully prepared and ready to get your pooch the specialist care they need. Here are the most common issues to be wary of:

  • Cherry eye
  • Respiratory issues
  • Obesity
  • Skin conditions
  • Ear infections
  • Hip dysplasia
  • Dental complications
  • Spinal disorders



    • When you get your Bulldog covered with our breed-specific dog and puppy insurance, we’ll take care of up to 80% of eligible vet bills, so your pooch gets the medical care they need without draining your bank account.

    Financial protection for eligible breed-specific health conditions.

    Gives your bulldog access to specialist medical care, no matter your financial situation.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    How Much Coverage Does My Bulldog Get with PetsOnMe?

    That’s all down to what level of coverage you pick for your pooch.

    If you get our Accidental Plan, you’re covered for a bunch of accident-related treatment costs, prescriptions, and even third-party liability. If you pick our Classic Plan, you get a bunch of eligible accidental injury and illness treatments covered. And if you choose our Deluxe Plan, you get the most coverage, including accidental injury, breed-specific illness, hospitalisation, and even select dental care.

    And don’t you worry, there aren’t any sneaky terms and conditions or hidden fees — what you see is what you get.

    Are Bulldogs Prone to Health Problems?

    Yes, Bulldogs do come with some health risks. But, don’t stress — our insurance company is here to cover whatever health mis-haps come your pooche’s way.

    Our breed-specific Bulldog plans are designed to cover a bunch of specific health problems that only Bulldogs can get. With an annual benefit limit of up to $20,000, you can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing your furry friend and your bank account are protected.

    Is Routine Care Covered with PetsOnMe Dog Insurance?

    Sadly no, any routine vet check ups your Bulldog gets will need to be covered by your pockets. Our policies also exclude pre-existing conditions, so any health problems our pooch had before joining us won’t be eligible to claim.

    While we don’t cover these bits, we do give you a generous financial blanket for loads of other important stuff, like breed-specific medical treatment, third-party liability, prescribed medication, and lots more — you’ll actually save $1000s each year on vet bills!

    What’s the Best Level of Cover for My Senior Bulldog?

    For all older dogs, we recommend our Classic or Deluxe Plans. If your senior pooch is generally in good health, go for our Classic Plan. This will cover you for both accidental injuries and common illnesses.

    If your dog has some health problems or is at a higher risk of getting sick or injured, our Deluxe Plan is the way to go. With an annual benefit percentage of up to 80%, this level of pet insurance cover will prepare you for any kind of medical emergency and save your pockets the burden of costly vet bills.

    Do All Bulldog Breeds Have the Same Health Problems?

    There’s a general bunch of conditions that all Bulldogs are at risk of developing, but each specific Bulldog breed will have their own unique conditions. In general, keep an eye out for things like cherry eye, respiratory issues, obesity, skin allergies, ear infections, and hip dysplasia.
