English Bulldog issues i need help with !?
You must use a soap-free shampoo when using Frontline, call your vet and they either carry or can recommend a shampoo that is safe to use with Frontline and wont wash it away. Do not use human shampoo or detergent! (You are washing your money down the drain!) For any skin issues they can recommend a medicated shampoo (NOT one that you can purchase at a pet store). English bulldogs are prone to bacterial skin infections, which is a prime cause of the "stinky dog symdrome". Also, they can hold bacteria and yeast in the folds of their face, which if not treated properly will only get worse. Make an appt at your vet, they will probably do a tape-prep on your dogs skin and look at it under the microscope to see which bacteria is growing on your dogs skin. That way, they can prescribe medication that will keep it under control. Another reason could be a food allergy, talk to your vet about that possibility as well. I put my dog on a prescription food for food allergy sufferers and it has worked wonders! Good Luck!
