As temperatures drop, our bully breeds feel the shift just like we do. From dry skin to reduced activity levels, winter can pose unique challenges but with the right care, your bully can stay healthy, comfortable, and thriving all season long.
Here’s how to keep your bully warm, nourished, and protected through winter’s chill.
Coat & Skin Care
Cold air outside and dry heat indoors can be tough on your bully’s skin. Many bully breeds already have shorter coats and more sensitive skin, making winter even harsher.
Help them stay comfortable by:
Brushing regularly: removes dead hair, boosts circulation, and supports natural skin oils
Using a gentle, moisturizing shampoo: avoid over-bathing which can strip moisture
Adding a jacket or hoodie for outdoor time: especially for short-coat or senior bullies
Keeping paws protected: salt, ice, and cold pavement can crack paw pads
A healthy coat always starts from within which leads us to nutrition.
Winter Nutrition for Strong Muscles
With colder temperatures comes less outdoor play and fewer long walks, which can lead to muscle loss or unwanted weight gain. High-quality protein is key to keeping your bully strong even when activity dips.
Maximum Bully formulas including Raw Fuel Chicken and Raw Fuel Beef offer the high animal protein your bully needs to maintain lean muscle through winter. Real chicken, real beef, and real ingredients help support strength, energy, and healthy body condition even in the slower months.
Immune Support in Cold Temps
Just like humans, dogs can experience dips in immune resilience during winter. Nutrition is one of the easiest ways to give their immune system a seasonal boost.
Look for foods rich in:
Vitamin A & E: support skin and immune health
Antioxidants: help the body fight seasonal stress
Digestive-supporting ingredients: like pumpkin, found in our Raw Fuel recipes to help keep the gut balanced (where much of the immune system lives) Our Maximum Bully kibble promotes a healthy digestive system by containing oatmeal, cranberry and pumpkin. Plus, Activ8, our unique blend of prebiotic fiber and probiotics that helps support a healthy digestive tract.
A healthy gut = a stronger immune system = a winter-ready bully.
Keep Them Warm, Keep Them Close
Winter doesn’t have to slow your bully down. With the right care your dog can stay strong, healthy, and happy all season long.
