- English/French bulldogs are frankly a very expensive breed to own. Many people look to rescue for a "cheaper bulldog." However, it's important to remember that the price of a bulldog extends far beyond the "price tag." Bulldog owners need to be prepared to spend $500-1,000+ a year on bulldog care. Feeding a high quality, grain free diet reduces the number of vet visits for skin/ear/tail infections.
