Did You Know???
English and French Bulldogs are part of the brachycephalic breed. Which means they have a short head, all those cute wrinkles, and the smooshy faces we all want to kiss!
What does this mean for your English or Frenchie???
-
Because of their short squishy faces they can't cool off easy so it's important to ALWAYS monitor when outside and not take them out in the heat.
-
These guys only need a moderate amount of exercise daily to help them from getting overweight, but don't them overexert themselves remember they have a harder time cooling down.
-
Due to the breeds spine structure limit jumping and stair use
-
Both English + French Bulldogs are sweet and easy going but they ARE stubborn so be consistent with training and start as soon as you bring your fur baby home
-
All those wrinkles do require care to prevent infection... make sure you dry + inspect the wrinkles daily + apply wrinkle balm if necessary
-
Both these breeds have short thin fur and don't like the cold
-
They are NOT a table scrap kind of dog! Stick to fruits + veggies that are safe for dogs + like a human baby try one at a time to make sure no allergic reactions pop up ( ours love strawberries, watermelon, mango, carrots, cucumber, banana, sweet potato & pumpkin )

We use a no pull dog harness from Amazon for Lucy due to her size and because we're still working on leash manners. Lucy wears a Large, but make sure to measure your pup before you order. https://www.amazon.com/Coohom-Attachments-Adjustable-Reflective-Material/dp/B081ZP639B/ref=sr_1_1?crid=22HCU4N3HMY11&keywords=coohom+no+pull+dog+harness&qid=1641164295&sprefix=coohom+no+pull+%2Caps%2C131&sr=8-1

We also like these harnesses as they seem to fit the big chested Frenchies. They are breathable & the dogs don't slip out of them. Our adults wear a Large. Amazon.com : Puppia Authentic RiteFit Harness with Adjustable Neck, Medium, Royal Blue : Pet Supplies

Our pack has a Coolaroo dog bed outside for summer lazy days. Also I may have an obsession with Marshall's dog beds, we have far too many... I think I need more pups to fill the beds!! Amazon.com: Coolaroo The Original Cooling Elevated Pet Bed, S to L Sizes : Everything Else
