In this series 3 episode from The Consult Room podcast, Dr Paul Manktelow is joined by Dr Jane Ladlow, specialist veterinary surgeon and Director of Research at Cambridge University. In this in-depth discussion, they lift the lid on the controversy surrounding flat-faced dogs - those bulldog breeds that conversely top the tables as most popular but also the most unhealthy. 

With a shared concern and love of the breeds, listen and learn as Paul and Jane delve deeper into:

• The health issues which haunt these breeds.

  
  



• The research, diagnostic and assessment tools that have helped breeders start to breed better bulldogs and vets to better monitor them.

  
  



• How problems may not all be down to irresponsible breeding, but also the irresponsible influence of social media.

  
  



• Why it is that dog owners can’t resist these breeds.

  
  



• What you should do if you are currently considering buying a bulldog breed.
