You can expect your Bullmastiff to shed seasonally. Frequent grooming will ensure that this shedding remains under control. Bathe your dog only as needed, but take care to keep your dog’s deep facial wrinkles clean and dry. Sometimes, dry or oily skin and coat related to diet or allergies can be an issue. Also, keep in mind that Bullmastiffs are droolers.
Particularly as puppies, Bullmastiffs need to stay at a healthy weight. They grow very quickly, so obesity can be especially harmful.
Always visit a professional veterinarian if you believe your dog may have health issues.
