Planning to Adopt Frenchie Puppies: Tips for First-Time Owners

Josh Billings, the famous humorist and lecturer, once said, “A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself," so if you are planning to adopt a pet dog, we can assure it’s going to be a life-changing experience.

If you have chosen French Bulldog puppies, they are not just pets; they’re tiny bundles of personality wrapped in a wrinkly. But like any other dog breed, they also have some basic needs to thrive. It is crucial to have a clear idea, especially for new French Bulldog puppy owners, for a joyful companionship.

In this blog, as an experienced breeder, BlueHaven’s experts are going to share basic tips to help you raise a happy and healthy puppy.

Why Frenchie Puppies Need Extra Care

French Bulldogs have been one of the most demanded breeds among dog lovers for the last few years. As per NPR, “these bat-like ears and wrinkled faces claimed the top spot among nearly 200 breeds, as the AKC registered nearly 98,500 in 2023.”

Frenchies are known for their tiny sizes, but they have BIG needs! They’re playful, affectionate, and undeniably adorable—but they’re also a breed that comes with special requirements. Why? Let’s understand.

French Bulldog puppies are highly sensitive to temperature. Because of their short snouts, they struggle to regulate heat, which makes them prone to overheating in warm weather.

Then there are their iconic wrinkles. Sure, those adorable face folds add to their charm, but they also trap dirt and moisture, which can lead to infections and allergies. So regular cleaning their skin folds with soft, damp cloths and keeping them dry is essential for preventing them from such issues.

These are the basics. But they have other needs. From providing a perfect environment to planning their diet to crafting a training schedule to take them for regular grooming sessions, all play a vital role in a Frenchie puppy’s overall wellbeing.

How to Create the Perfect Home for Your Frenchie

French Bulldog puppies love comfort. If they could talk, they’d probably request a plush bed, a cozy blanket, and maybe a small throne to remind everyone who’s in charge!

What your Frenchie’s home needs:

Feeding Your French Bulldog Puppies Right

If you think Frenchie puppies can eat anything, think again! These little food lovers require a well-balanced diet to stay healthy. This breed is prone to gain weight quickly, and overfeeding can easily escalate the issue, and obesity in French Bulldog puppies can lead to serious health problems.

As per the AKC French Bulldog Standard, “they should not exceed 28 pounds. Females typically weigh 17–24 pounds, while males range from 20–28 pounds.”(Source)

• Feeding Tips From BlueHaven

• Choose high-quality food: Look for options that include lean protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients.

• Avoid common allergens: Many French Bulldogs have food sensitivities. Try to steer clear of wheat, corn, and artificial additives.

• Portion control is key. Follow the recommended feeding guidelines based on their age and weight to prevent overfeeding.

• Hydration is a must. Always provide fresh water to keep them hydrated.

Exercise & Play: Keeping Your Frenchie Active

Frenchie puppies love to play, but they aren’t built for endurance sports. You won’t be taking them on a 5-mile run, but short bursts of fun activities will keep them happy and fit.

• Best Exercises for French Bulldog Puppies:

• Keep it light and avoid extreme heat.

• According to statistics, they rank 58th in smartest out of 79 dog breeds (Source). So provide them puzzle toys and squeaky balls to keep them mentally stimulated.

• A quick game of fetch in the living room or tug-of-war is perfect.

• Try to arrange playdates with other small, friendly dogs to help with social skills.

Avoid excessive jumping or rough play to prevent joint injuries. Always watch for signs of fatigue, as Frenchies can tire quickly.

Grooming and Health Care for Your Frenchie

French Bulldog puppies might not need a trip to the groomer as often as long-haired breeds, but they still require regular maintenance to stay clean, fresh, and healthy.
