Nutrition
Feeding & Diet Consistency
We feed Royal Canin puppy food. Keep diet consistent when coming home, watch portion control, and transition foods slowly to protect sensitive stomachs.
Training
Early Routine & Potty Habits
We start potty training and daily routines early. Consistent outdoor trips and predictable schedules build lifelong confidence and good manners.
Wellness
Health & Heat Safety
Protect Frenchies from extreme heat, monitor paws, stay on top of regular vet checks, and ensure age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming.
New Puppy
First Week & Go-Home Prep
Have food, water bowls, crate, and toys ready. We don't rush our puppies—we allow them to develop naturally with structure and love.
Education
Wrinkle & Joint Care
Keep facial folds clean and dry, avoid high jumping to protect back joints, and select durable, safe chew toys suited for strong chewers.
Care Essentials
Frenchie care checklist
French Bulldogs do best with structure, indoor comfort, and careful attention to heat, skin, breathing, and weight.
- Keep outdoor time short during hot weather; walk during early mornings or late evenings.
- Gently clean facial folds regularly and make sure they are completely dry to prevent irritation.
- Use ramps or stairs to prevent jumping off high furniture and protect their back.
- Watch food portions and limit treats to keep pressure off joints and aid easy breathing.
- Inspect between toes regularly for redness or chewing/licking behavior.
Feeding Guide
Simple nutrition rhythm
Always follow breeder and veterinarian recommendations for your puppy's exact age and needs.
| Age / Stage | Helpful Guidance |
|---|---|
| New puppy | Keep on Royal Canin puppy food. If changing foods later, transition gradually over 7–10 days. |
| Growing puppy | Feed measured portions on a consistent daily schedule to support natural development. |
| Adult Frenchie | Maintain strict portion control and limit extra treats to prevent excess weight on joints and lungs. |
| Any stage | Provide size-appropriate, heavy-duty chew toys. Avoid cheap toys that tear apart easily. |
Training & Health
New puppy guidance that actually helps.
Keep training kind, short, and consistent. Build confidence before expecting perfection.
Training Plan
First 30 days at home
- Continue the daily schedule for feeding, potty, playtime, and rest.
- Take puppy out consistently after naps, meals, and play—they aren't starting from scratch!
- Expose puppy to normal household sounds, people, and positive experiences.
- Give your puppy a quiet, comfortable crate area to rest and adjust.
Wellness Notes
Health habits to watch
- Never leave your Frenchie out in extreme summer heat; keep indoor air cool.
- Clean facial folds routinely to stop moisture and dirt buildup.
- Look out for constant foot licking, which signals irritation or allergies.
- Follow the veterinary schedule for vaccines, deworming, and health checks.
