Bully Wrinkle & Skinfold Antiseptic Small Wipes

Bulldog wrinkles are not a hygiene failure on your part. They are what we bred into the breed: skin folded against skin, with no air getting in and a little moisture always finding its way there from drinking, drooling, tears, rain or a wet lawn. Warm, dark, damp and airless is the ideal growing environment for yeast and bacteria, and a fold gives them all four at once.

These are the paring knife of the wipe drawer. The extra-large wipe covers your whole hand and does the big jobs, the nose rope and the full face in one pass. The small wipe is for the fiddly work the big one is clumsy at: between the toes, the chin and lip folds, the vulvar fold, under the tail. Different size, same job, and most households end up wanting both for the same reason they own two knives.

Each wipe carries a broad-spectrum antiseptic with antifungal (yeast) activity, which matters because on bulldog skin bacteria and yeast usually turn up together. Treat only one of the two and you get the pattern owners describe to me all the time: better for a week, then straight back to where it started.

Two habits get the most out of them. Wipe into the fold rather than across it, so you are actually cleaning skin and not just the hair above it. Then dry the fold. Wiping is half the job and drying is the other half, because anything you leave damp is back to being a greenhouse within the hour. Think of it as a daily minute per problem fold over a good few weeks rather than a deep clean once a month, and if a fold is raw, weeping, bleeding or clearly sore, that is a visit to your own veterinarian rather than another wipe.

Not sure if this is the right one? For the nose rope, the tail pocket and larger areas, the Wrinkle & Skinfold Antiseptic XL Wipes cover more ground per wipe. If a fold has already gone sore and needs something that stays put, the Bully Wrinkles Antiseptic Lotion is built to cling where a wipe only passes through. Owners managing several folds usually want a wipe and a lotion on the shelf together, which is cheaper as a V4B bundle.

Important: this page is educational and is not a diagnosis or a treatment plan for your own bulldog. Fold dermatitis is very often the visible end of an allergy underneath, so a fold that keeps relapsing deserves a look from your veterinarian.
