Do Bullmastiffs need much care?
A weekly brushing with a hard brush should do the trick. You have to pay attention to their eyes, by removing all secretions from the inner corner of the eyes by using a soft tissue. You can clean the folds of their skin with a piece of cotton soaked in warm water. You also have to check his ears regularly. They are sagging and V-shaped and attract dust and humidity. If they are dirty and smell bad, you should take the dog to the veterinary. He will prescribe a liquid to get rid of the problem. For normal maintenance, you should clean the ears of your dog with Vaseline or oil on absorbent cotton. You also have to trim his claws, especially if the dog spends most of his time indoors, on non abrasive surfaces. If you’re not confident to do it yourself, have a professional do the job. Finally, you also have to pay attention to his teeth. You have to brush them regularly or give him bones especially made to remove tartar.
