Prepare for unexpected vet bills
As a gentle giant sitting between 60 and 120 pounds, American Bullweilers can be one of the best family pets you can ever own. They get along well with other family pets when well socialized, and will even be gentle with children as well. Though they can look like quite a large and intimidating breed, they are a big snuggly teddy bear when you raise them right. However, this Rottweiler and American Bulldog mix is not a dog for the busy owner. They need continual love and attention, as well as an hour of intensive exercise every day. If you’re struggling to provide your gentle giant with the entertainment and physical activity they need, these activities below may help.
The dog park is going to be one of the most beneficial activities for your American Bullweiler. Given the size and energy levels of your pup, as well as their need for socialization and friends, it’s an activity that you should carry out at least twice per week – if not more often – for an hour at a time. Trips to the dog park make a great sunny day activity that provides your furry friend with all the socialization and physical exertion they need to fill their fun meter. Grab a doggy waste bag, their favorite toy, and a leash, and hit the road.Â
If you’re not able to dedicate as much time to your furry friend as you would like, why not book them into daycare for dogs? It might seem like doing so defeats the point of dog ownership, but isn’t it a better alternative than leaving them in a kennel for hours while you go to work? Doggy daycare is an excellent option for busy working parents who don’t mind the high price tag if it means their dog gets plenty of love, attention, and fun, during the day. Often, all you need is a leash, and a toy and the facility will arrange all the rest! All-weather doggy daycare facilities are well worth your consideration.Â
Is your dog a little on the podgy side after one too many treats? Then it might be time to incorporate intensive physical activity into their weekly routine. Particularly in hot weather in summer, this free and fun activity can be a saving grace for both owner and dog. Firstly, you can benefit from fun in the sun at the beach, and secondly, your dog can cool off in the water – something that’s crucial for larger dogs who can have trouble regulating their temperature. Spending time at the beach with your doggo can be a fun way to pass the time while also being beneficial for their physical and mental stimulation requirements. All you need is a leash and a toy, and you and your pampered pooch can hit the road.Â
American Bullweilers are low maintenance dogs. They don’t need you to spend hours grooming them, and they are also more than happy to hang out with you at home and do whatever you want to do. However, for the sake of not encouraging a couch potato personality, you can also incorporate an hour-long walk per day into their routine. It gives you a chance to get much-needed physical activity as well, all the while strengthening the bond between owner and man’s best friend.
If you have a spacious and fully-fenced yard, then there’s every reason to create a sanctuary for your pet within it. Alongside their kennel, you can also ensure they have plenty of toys with which to keep them entertained. You can play with these toys with them, or leave your dog to their own devices for quiet time on their own. Otherwise, you can entice them into a game of fetch, frisbee, tug of war or a similar game to pass the time and keep them engaged.
American Bullweilers are some of the most loving doggos you can ever own. They are faithful, loving, loyal, and will protect you to the end of the earth. Your dog thinks you’re the most pawsome thing that’s ever happened to them, so you must return the favor. Give them plenty of stimulation through play and exercise, and you can guarantee that your dog will be your faithful companion forever.Â
