Wrinkle Care, Tear Stains and Tail Pockets

With all our bullies' wrinkles, folds, and possible tail pockets, it’s always a good idea to get into a routine of checking them daily and cleaning them regularly, as they collect dirt and bacteria. It’s also worth looking into diet, as this plays a huge role in tear stains and wet wrinkles.


For cleaning them, I use Leucillin applied to water wipes or cotton pads and leave to dry naturally.


Then apply an all-natural wrinkle balm to protect them. I use Natural Dog Co. wrinkle balm, but you can also use organic cold-pressed coconut oil. Dorwest does a great skin balm also. I would be doing this once a day if sore, then once a week once healed.


In cases where the wrinkles have become red and sore, green clay can be applied to promote healing.


Also, adding a good soil-based probiotic will help.


I apply the same routine for tail pockets. If you're not sure how to find the tail pocket, I can guide you in the right direction. Not all bulldogs have them, of course, as it all depends on the tail type. The pocket sits directly under the tail above the bottom. Sometimes they are small but can also be up to half a finger in length. Any questions, please just ask.
