Are Shorty Bulls prone to dental disease?
Yes — Shorty Bulls have compact brachycephalic head structure that often causes tooth crowding and increased periodontal disease risk.
How often should I brush my Shorty Bull’s teeth?
Daily brushing is ideal. Their compact jaw structure means plaque accumulates quickly in crowded spaces.
Do Shorty Bulls have retained puppy teeth?
Retained deciduous teeth are possible in Shorty Bulls due to their compact jaw structure. Have your vet check at the 6-month exam.
What is the best dental routine for a Shorty Bull?
Daily brushing, enzymatic toothpaste, dental water additive, and annual professional cleanings from a vet experienced with bully breeds.
