About Bullmastiff

The Bullmastiff is a large, powerful, and muscular dog breed originally developed in England to guard estates and prevent poaching. Known for its loyalty, courage, and natural protective instincts, the Bullmastiff is both a family companion and a capable guard dog. Despite their imposing size, they are gentle, affectionate, and calm around children, showing patience and tolerance. This breed requires moderate exercise to maintain physical health and mental stimulation, making them suitable for homes with a yard. Socialization from a young age is important to ensure a well-rounded temperament. Their short coat requires minimal grooming, but regular brushing helps maintain coat health.

What to Avoid

Avoid overfeeding, as Bullmastiffs are prone to obesity. Steer clear of foods with excessive grains, artificial additives, or chocolate, which is toxic to dogs. Also, avoid rigorous exercise immediately after meals, as this breed is prone to bloat.
