Introduction

Bringing home a new bully puppy is a big decision — and making sure your pup is healthy from day one is crucial. Whether you’re a first-time owner or a seasoned breeder, knowing what to look for can save you from future stress and heartbreak. In this post, we’ll share 5 clear signs of a healthy bully puppy so you can make the right choice.

1. Bright Eyes and Clean Nose

A healthy bully pup should have clear, bright eyes with no discharge, redness, or cloudiness. The nose should be moist, free from crust or excessive mucus. These are often the first visible signs of a dog’s overall health.

2. Clean Ears and No Odor

Check your pup’s ears — they should be clean, light pink inside, and not have any strong smell. Discharge, dark wax, or frequent scratching may point to an infection or mites.

3. Strong Build and Active Movement

Bully breeds are naturally muscular, even as pups. A healthy puppy will move confidently, with no limping or dragging of limbs. Pay attention to posture and energy levels — they should be playful but balanced.

4. Shiny Coat and Healthy Skin

The coat of a healthy bully pup should be smooth, shiny, and free from bald spots or flakes. Redness, scabs, or constant scratching might indicate allergies, mange, or poor nutrition.

5. Normal Appetite and Digestion

A healthy puppy eats well, gains weight steadily, and has regular bowel movements. Loose stools, vomiting, or bloating could signal parasites or digestive issues that need vet attention.
