Prevent
- Never carry a small dog with one hand or by its paws or head. Support your Frenchie’s rear end with one hand and place another hand under their tummy to protect their spin. Remember, having a puppy is like having a child.
Infection
Owners should use a damp cloth or baby wipe to remove dirt from each fold at least once per week, more if their Frenchie spends a lot of time outdoors. Be sure to thoroughly dry their faces after cleaning, as any moisture left between the folds can cause irritation or bacterial infection.
Too much heat and Stay Cool
Frenchies are sensitive to heat especially heat stroke, which can be fatal for dogs. It always a good idea to keep an eye on your puppy’s comfort level.
Too much Cold and Stay Warm
Like all flat-faced dogs, Frenchies are sensitive to cold. Owners should be on the look out for shivering or difficulty breathing, as cold air asserts extra strain on the dog’s respiratory system.
Swimming and Stay Dry
At no time should you allow your French Bulldog around water unsupervised. French Bulldogs can't swim.
