We have an 8 month old dogue de bordeaux, he started throwing up mucus/blood a few times so we took him into an emergency vet. They did not give us any answers as to what could’ve happened. They prescribed him 3 medications: a GI protectant, an anti nausea and an ulcer treatment. After 3 days...

Hi everyone, Bo is my 2 year old female bullmastiff. She's always been fit and well but about 5 days ago I noticed this little bump on the top of her head - the next day the hair had fell out of it, later on that day I noticed another bump above her eye. The bump was swollen and angry, again...

Hi Everyone. So I have a two year old male BM and I've noticed over the past month or so that he's been getting this black gunk build up in one of his folds on one side of his face. I clean it everyday, normally with a baby wipe and then with a dry paper towel, but every day there is more black...

This has been my only means of exercise over the last four or five years. Keeps both me and my Corso happy, healthy and muscular. He stays ripped year round that part I could use a little work on lol. Here's a video I threw together outlining one of my routines with my 140lb Corso "Bane"...

Hi, I'm Stephanie, my 200 lb "son" is named Riddick. He is a brindle EM and will be turning ten in a few weeks. I adopted him 4 years ago because my friend's brother had to move to a new city and couldn't take him. No one else in his family were willing to accommodate Riddick due to his slobber...

Hi. :) I just brought my English mastiff puppy into my home about two months ago. She is now three and a half months old. When I first brought her home, she was having a hard time potty training. The vet assured me she was just a puppy, and I needed to give it time. Low and behold, come to find...

Hello, My name is Cassidy and I just recently adopted a 4.5month old male English Mastiff. He is an absolute joy and already so well behaved for being so young! We haven't gotten an official weight on him, but he is around 55lbs and standing at 26" tall. He seems to be pretty healthy overall...

I just brought my 10 week old English mastiff puppy home from the breeder. The breeder had him on Diamond dog food, but I'm thinking about switching him to Pioneer natural grain free. Pioneer's proportions are: 27% protein and 14% fat. Will this work? Help this is my first mastiff I've only...

Boone's (my now little over 3 month old BM) always been a little itchier than normal. There's no discoloration, no hair loss since I started him on raw, no crazy shedding, no pink spots, no dandruff, no flakes, no fleas or ticks (I've checked it all multiple times!). He still seems to want to...

Is it okay to use a stud dog that has had cherry eye. I know Hank's daddy had his repaired on his left side which was the only one he had. I know it's common among certain breeds but do most breeders exclude dogs that have been treated for cherry eye from their breeding program? Our breeder was...

Hi all, I was wondering which health checks and scores, I would need to obtain for my Cane Corso? We intend on showing him and really don't have any intention of babies from him. Unless later in life we decide we want an heir to him. I want to make sure no matter which way we go that our boy is...

Gatropexy & Spaying at 5 Months? Hello! I'm a new Mastiff puppy owner (Neo and Bull mix). We just finished up with her final round of shots and scheduled the spaying - and to my surprise the vet said it could be done at 5 months. We also heard that Gastropexy, to help prevent bloat, would be...

hi, i have a 10 week old bullmastiff female. She has been awesome since we got her at 8 weeks! First, I was wondering if any of you are bullmastiff owners, what did your pup weigh at around 10 weeks? She weighs 19 pounds. I am not sure how that is compared to others. I was also wondering...
