Buy this before you adopt a French Bulldog
So, you are a proud new owner of a French bulldog. What is the first thing you really need to buy for a pet, and how to prepare for its appearance in your family?
- Bowls – the dog needs two of them: for water and food. They are plastic, ceramic, and metal. There are also silicone ones that fold easily and can become indispensable during walks when the dog is thirsty. You should also buy more shallow bowls because Frenchies have a muzzle structure that makes it difficult to drink and eat out of deep ones.
- Food – ask the breeder or veterinarian what kind of food is right for your pet. We recommend buying Premium-class feeds, which include all the necessary trace elements and vitamins.
- Toys – for a small puppy and an adult dog, toys are needed that will help the animal pass the loneliness while you are away from home and save your furniture and shoes)
- A place to sleep and rest – the pet will need to allocate a place to sleep and rest in the house. And to keep him warm, soft, and cozy, we recommend purchasing a dog bed, a pillow, or a basket.
- Leash and collar
- toilet – until the puppy grows, until the moment when all vaccinations are given to him, he will not be able to walk on the street. Therefore, it is important to arrange for him a special place where he can relieve his needs. Reusable diapers or special toilets for dogs are suitable for this.
- Shampoo and conditioner
- Nail cutter
General care advice
French Bulldogs do not require special care. After a walk, their hair is wiped with a warm terry towel to remove dirt and dust from them. And to keep the coat shiny, it is enough to comb it out with a special brush.
Bulldogs are not bathed very often, 3-4 times a year. Veterinarians recommend taking care of the folds on the muzzle so that moisture and dirt do not accumulate there, which can become a source of infection. These places are wiped with cotton pads. They also regularly wipe their eyes and clean their ears.
Periodically, it is necessary to treat fleas and ticks with drops, shampoos, suspensions, or collars. Visit the linkย to learn more about buying and caring about your puppies.
