Jan -
Just a quick note to THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for sharing your insight and experiences with all of us bulldog lovers! Since our last communication, I took your suggestion . . . and he is now THRIVING!
We immediately saw results and Winston is back to his beautiful self (outside and inside). His coat is full, soft, shiny and NOT SHEDDING! His disposition is so much better... no more throwing up..... and beyond happy & playful!
Thank you for helping (where vets could not) bring my Winston back to me!
Forever grateful...

I am very happy and relieved to say that it is encouraging to have a resource that knows exactly what it is like to own a bulldog and everything that comes with it.
From my own experience, my vet did not how to take care of a bulldog's specific needs. I came across BHS on a websearch for bulldog skin problems, but avoided it not wanting to pay money for something I thought I could figure cout myself, which I eventually did after combing through many, many searches. That was only dealing with one issue, which was food allergies.
After that I did one more search for the health system, was so happy to find it, trusted all the reccomendations it earned from other bulldog owner's and web sites and immediately purchased the book and cd.
Thank you for the peace of mind Jan.
Sincerely,
James, Carrie and Rocky |

I would like to take the moment to thank you for the email alert regarding Nutro dog food. I have always taken pride in feeding my dog the very best of foods as he is such a loved member of our family.
I was shocked to read your email about Nutro and even more shocked when I did some research on-line only to find that I must live in a cave. I had no idea the concerns there were with the Nutro Product.
I immediately took him off the food, and talk about perfect timing there was a dog show in Toronto that weekend and I was able to get a lot of information and ask allot of questions to dog food distributors and make an educated choice of what food to change Harley too.
Within a week I saw a change in his coat as well as energy level. I thank you so very much for opening my eyes. Oh and so does Harley because he loves his new food. It is made just for the Bulldog bread and even has a special shape so they can grip the food easier.
You are the best!

Jan,
I am totally amazed with your responses and immediate attention to my request. I honestly did not expect to receive the personal attention and thought that the site would be more of the generational responses in that it would be fielded by some typical systematic response system and not an
individual. The video was great and the interview very interesting. I am hoping to enjoy many years of love and affection with Roxie. I have attached several photos of Roxie for your enjoyment.
Thanks for your unselfish dedication.
Again, thank you for your timely response. I have always been a bit skeptical of the whole internet and e-mail systems. However, I am a pretty good judge of character and feel confident in you and your abilities. . . I am 35 years old with a beautiful wife of 13 years. We have 2 children ages 11 and 9. I served in the United States Marine Corps(part of my adoration of the Bulldog . . . since the addition of Roxie to our family, I have tirelessly searched and researched information about the breed. Jan, I am not just saying this to be an ego booster, but your insight, attention to detail, and overall knowledge of the breed is unsurpassed by any information I have found. Even though we have only communicated via e-mails, I feel very safe and trustworthy in all the help you have provided. As well, it honestly feels that you truly take a personal attachment to my requests, which makes me feel at ease . . . I hope, with your help, that she will grow to be a happy and healthy mature Bulldog and again I thank you for your unselfishness and dedication. SEMPER FI and God Bless

I just wanted to drop a note to let you know that your series on Bulldog health has been helping me with Rooney tremendously!
He was starting with a skin condition that I knew was an allergy but could not pin point what it was exactly...until I pulled out the Bulldog Bible!
Thank you again for always supplying such great info!
Here is an updated picture of Rooney. He is such a love!
Sincerely,

| We are bout to become an owner of a bulldog and bought this book prior to his arrival.
Thank you for you informative book, as a nurse I feel I can manage any potential problems with health, hygiene and god forbid, crises, especially now that I have awareness of potential issues. Heat stroke is one of the biggies here, it can get hot so I will institute rules for my grandchildren over playing in hot weather from the beginning.
I found the entire package informative, and loved the plates in the book [The Bulldog: a Monograph] Thanks again,

I have finally managed to read through the materials. It has taken me a while to do this due to lack of time, certainly not from lack of interest.
Fantastic, terrific, comprehensive are what come to mind. I am so pleased to have it. It is written with such love and affection.
I especially like the information on how to treat problems at home and how to know when it is time to make a visit to the vet.
I have always tried to do this with my dogs through the years and this will be a helpful guide.
The bonus materials are a great addition too. All in all I am very happy with it.
I also wanted to tell you how I love the videos of Archie. He is adorable!

Hi Jan,
I read your book and enjoyed it very much, lots of great information. I still have to listen to the bonus CD. That little video of Why I love My Bully Brought me and my daughter to tears!!!! It was done beautifully! I felt like you were writing it about my Tyke.
. . . it is so nice to have someone I can ask a question.
Thanks so much!
Your Bulldog Buddy,
JoAnn & Tyke |

| Your book is great.
Thank you, you are a life safer, your book is so informative, I thought i would have no problems since I had a bully before, but i confess I did not know 1/2 of the stuff in your book, i agree before anyone owns a bully it should be the law they have to read your book. and yes i have a wounder little
doodle bug who is so cuddly and loving once i download my pictures from my camera I will send you a picture.
thanks again,

Thanks Jan for specific breed info on how to keep our bulldog healthy!! I really want to thank you for responding to my email I sent a long while back about my sweet "Lola". She was a very unhealthy bulldog when I purchased her at about 3 yrs old. You promptly anserwed my email personally even before I became a member because you were so concerned. Well, Lola has gone to Rainbow Bridge now. I did all I could do for her..it was just to late by the time she came to live with me. I did give her one more really spoiled and happy year tho Thanks to you and your advice. Now thanks to dedicated people like yourself my two other bullie babies are so very! very! healthy! I have changed their feeding to something so much better and know how to give very could routine care that isn't hard to do. And Thanks Jan for all the bonuses...they are like christmas to me everytime I get one :)

I absolutely loved the book. It provided me with such helpful information that was so useful for my bulldog puppy Lucy.
Bulldogs are extremely precious and special animals and do require a lot of attention because they are so prone to many health problems, needless to say it can get pretty expensive.
The book provided some great alternatives that we can do right at home without the use of a vet that will keep our bulldog happy and healthy.
Thank you so much, it was exactly the resource I was looking for.

Let's face it - our loveable little "sourmug" companions come with a set of their own very special health issues!
All those wrinkles, recessed tails, stubby legs, and funky palates can present unique concerns that are just now faced by other dog owners!
What I love about "The Healthy Bulldog" is that the focus is strictly on our little (!) companions - and not broad-based information across all dog families that simply does not apply to our dogs.
I have learned more about how to care for the ears, tail, and tummy of my bulldog, Pumpkin, in the few days I have had this book than I have learned in the 4 years she has owned me!
My two vets are wonderful - and they treat a BUNCH of bulldogs - but even they were unaware of some of the issues/treatments that are in this book.
Thank you very much for your love and affection for not only bulldogs - but those of us who own them.
Getting this book - and all the supplements and support around it - has been like getting a godparent for Pumpkin!
Best wishes - and thanks for all your efforts!
--Sherry B and Pumpkin |

Thank you so much for your well-researched and well-written handbook dedicated to the healthy bulldog. As a bulldog lover, I was aware of the various quirks in the bulldog constitution but it is disheartening when everyone from the vet to randome individuals in the street tell you how troublesome bulldog healthcare is.
I really appreciate being able to embark on a health and nutritional plan based on the information in your book, to keep my pup healthy and happy.
All of the extras from the doggie recipies to online resources are a
terrific bonus!
Best,
Aileen Ward - and Pippa thanks you too! |

Your book had been a huge help to me, and I'll tell you why...
In September 2005 I got married to a member of the U.S. Air Force, who is stationed in Okinawa, Japan. On November 2, I stepped off of a plane and into my new life as a military spouce and housewife in Okinawa, with the knowledge that my husband was going to be deploying to the desert in January 2006.
By the end of my first weekend in Okinawa, we brought home the cutiest two month male bulldog puppy, my husband's dream dog. He even named him Uga, after the mascot for the University of Georgia.
Shortly after my husband's deployment in January 2006, Uga started having problems. He has been to the vet more in two months, than I have been to the doctor my entire life. He's had cherry eye surgeries in both eyes, bronchitis, an infection in his nose fold and is now beginning to recover from aspiration pnumonia and the cherry eye has returned in one of his eyes.
With being in Okinawa by myself, for the time being, in a place where bulldogs struggle because of the climate, this book has become my bible.
Thank you!

Your book is great and had a lot of information.
I liked how it could be downloaded right onto my computer . . . there is so much more valuable information that I'm sure will help me as my bulldog continues to grow up.

| Our Maggie is obsessed with her rear end. It seems to itch all of the time. We have tried everything. Maggie is white with brown freckles but her rear end is pink from all of the itching. Your book helps. Thanks, B |

I recently purchased your book and I am very glad I did. It doesn't seem to be shy of any information a bulldog owner would need.
The book is extremely easy to read and understand, as the terminology written is for a pet owner, not a vet. I have re-read sections that refer to Mia. The use of baby benadryl versus adult answered a question I was unsure about. Just a simpleconcern even tho I haven't needed it.
Another thing that has helped me to understand a condition we have to deal with is Luxating Patella in both back legs. The tendon has become stretched and Mia is scheduled for surgery. This extremely crimps her every day activity and at ten months old she cannot enjoy playing or running without temporary lameness.
Your CD was also very enjoyable and helpful and I hope there will be an addition to solutions in dealing with attitude, stubborness, food agression and jealousy with brother and sister dogs. Thank you for being so helpful
and I look forward to your updates.

I am so pleased to have discovered you. i have only had a copy of the healthy bulldog for a few weeks and you have already saved me a trip to the vets.
In the uk, bulldogs are less popular than in the states, so your average vet seems to know little about them, which causes the owner worry and often expense.
I have e-mailed you twice already and you have replied so
quickly with knowledgeable suggestions, I have been amazed, but then again, what more could i expect from a bulldog lover.

I bought your book when I got my bulldog puppy It is my Bible to caring for my bautiful
baby. She is now 6months and we have had not one skin problem. She is healthy and happy and queen of our home. I believe it is day by day good grooming constantly
staying on top of the potential problems that has prevented them with her.
Thank you for your many years of contribution to this wonderful breed.

I purchased your book back in January and I Love it.
I have 2 bullies and the wrinkles always seemed
to have an odor, by reading your book and watching
the video on how to clean their wrinkles they
tolerate it better and they tend to stay odor free longer
(if that is possible).
I also e-mailed you a couple of times with some
issues and just wanted to let you now
you were right both times.
Thank you for all your knowledge on the breed and
the funny little extra's you send out I really enjoy them.
thanks,

| I read the section on bloat and realized that I was giving my English Bulldog Lilly some gas forming vegetables that she loved like cabbage. I immediately removed all gassy foods from her diet. The thought of her possibly suffering from bloat because of foods that I was giving her was not something that I was prepared to put her through.
Lilly had been very gassy. The flatulence was offensive aromatically and the sound effects were shocking to my guests. She is not producing much gas now. Thank you for helping me take preventative measures that may save Lilly from an agonizing attack of bloat.

We have found your book to be most informative and helpful particularly the article on wrinkle cleaning.
Our dog 'Bosun' had really smelly wrinkles but now is almost sweet smelling!!!
