  1. Special Care for Your Brachycephalic Dog Brachycephalic dogs are those with squashed, flat faces and bulging eyes— the Pekingese, Boston terrier, French and English bulldog, and the Pug are a few examples. Not only do these dogs look unique, they have some special care needs. Learn more here from veterinarians Columbia, MD. Don’t exercise too vigorously. Brachycephalic dogs have narrow nostrils and windpipes, and elongated soft palates. That makes it a little harder for them to breathe efficiently. So, it’s important that you don’t overexert your brachycephalic pup, because they can quickly become exhausted. Keep play sessions short! Watch out in hot weather. For the same reason described above, hot weather can be harder on your brachycephalic pooch than it is on other dogs. Don’t leave your pup outside in hot weather for long stretches of time, because they can quickly experience dehydration and heatstroke. Maintain good dental hygiene. Brachycephalic breeds’ squashed faces make the teeth crowd together, and that can start causing dental problems. Brush your pup’s teeth regularly and keep a close eye on the mouth so you can alert your vet as soon as you notice anything amiss. Does your brachycephalic dog need veterinary attention? Make an appointment with your animal hospital Columbia, MD.
