 Are you planning to adopt a French Bulldog puppy? Welcoming a Bulldog puppy is a delightful milestone filled with affection and joy but dealing with their potential health issues and caring challenges can be stressful. No worries! We are here to help.  

At BlueHaven, we are dedicated to ensuring your new furry family member thrives with our expert care and guidance. Let's delve into how you can elevate your Frenchie puppy's health and well-being with BlueHaven French Bulldogs by your side.

Understanding Your Frenchie Puppy’s Unique Needs

French Bulldogs are popular for their distinctive features, including their wrinkled faces, bat-like ear and endearing flat-headed noses. However, these features also require special attention to ensure their ultimate well being. 

1. Nutrition Excellence for Your Frenchie Puppy

The first thing that matters most to raising a happy and healthy puppy is their nutrition. So, let’s explore their nutritional needs first.

Frenchie puppies are prone to gain weight quickly. This weight can cause various health concerns. At BlueHaven French Bulldogs, we meticulously select high-quality foods rich in essential proteins and fats to support their growth and development. 

Dog Age	Dog Weight	Portion
7-8 Weeks	4 lbs	0.15 cups - 3 times a day
11-12 Weeks	8 lbs	0.25 cups - 3 times a day
5 Months	15 lbs	0.33 cups - 3 times a day
8 Months	19 lbs	0.6 cups - 2 times a day
10 Months+	22 lbs	0.75 cups - 2 times a day

Every French Bulldog puppy is unique, and they need personalized feeding plans according to their age, weight, and activity level. It is better to take advice from your veterinarian for comprehensive care.

2. Physical Fitness 

Keeping your Frenchie active is vital for their overall well-being. BlueHaven French Bulldogs suggest regular exercise routines to maintain their energy levels and physical capabilities. We suggest indulging your puppy with interactive play sessions, leisurely walks, and more to promote mental stimulation and physical health. 

Types of Exercise	Suggestion
Walking	A brisk walk is excellent exercise for your French Bulldog. This not only keeps them engaged but also burns off some energy. It is suggested to take them for a walk of about 20 to 30 minutes daily.
Hide and seek	Hide a toy or a treat and let them find it. This activity will enhance your puppies problem-solving abilities and keep them mentally engaged.
Tug of war	This is another classic game that French Bulldog puppies enjoy the most. Use a soft rope or a toy and play with them for a few minutes everyday.
Puzzle toys	Keep your dog entertained with puzzle toys. This will make them engaged and provide positive mental stimulation

3. Comprehensive Grooming and Hygiene

Maintaining your puppy's hygiene is essential for their comfort and well-being. BlueHaven French Bulldogs suggests regular grooming practices that include coat care, nail maintenance, and dental health routines. Our grooming tips and recommendations ensure your puppy looks and feels their best, from head to paw.

Here are few expert grooming tips for your French Bulldog Puppy

• Keep a regular grooming schedule. And do not miss grooming appointments.

• Regularly brush their coat with a soft brush.

• Select a bathing routine as per the weather conditions to maintain their hygiene. But remember, over-bathing can strip their natural oils from the coat and cause dryness.

• Always use nail clippers designed specifically for dogs to trim your Frenchie’s nails. 

• Use treats, praise, and affection throughout the nail clipping process to make it a positive experience for your French Bulldog puppy.

• If your Frenchie seems uncomfortable or nervous, pause the nail clipping to let them relax.

• Brush your Frenchie’s teeth at least once a day with a soft-bristled dog toothbrush 

• Offer dental chews and toys designed to scrape away plaque.
