STEP 1: Prepare Your Home for the New Arrival

Before your French Bulldog arrives, make sure your home is puppy-proofed:

  • Create a Safe Space: Designate a quiet, comfortable area where your puppy can acclimate to their new environment.

  • Remove Hazards: Ensure there are no small objects, cords, or houseplants that could pose a risk to your puppy.

  • Set Up Essentials: Prepare a cozy bed, food and water dishes, a litter box, scratching posts, and interactive toys.

STEP 2: First Steps When Your French Bulldog Puppy Comes Home
  • Allow Time to Adjust: Give your puppy time to explore their new surroundings at their own pace. Keep interactions gentle and positive.

  • Introduce Slowly: If you have other pets, introduce them gradually to avoid overwhelming your puppy. Establish a Routine: Start a feeding and play schedule to help your puppy settle in and feel secure.

STEP 3: Nutrition and Feeding Guidelines
  • High-Quality Diet: Feed your French Bulldog puppy a balanced diet specifically formulated for kittens. Look for food rich in protein to support their growth.

  • Hydration is Key: Ensure your puppy has access to fresh water at all times. Consider using a water fountain, as French Bulldog often enjoy running water.

STEP 4: Prepare Your Home for the New Arrival
  • Brushing: French Bulldogs have short, fine coats that require occasional brushing. Brush your puppy’s fur once a week to remove loose hair and keep their coat looking smooth.

  • Nail Trimming: Trim your puppy’s nails every few weeks. Start this routine early to help them get used to it.

  • Ear Cleaning: Check your puppy’s ears weekly for dirt or wax build-up and clean them with a vet-recommended solution.

  • Dental Care: Brush your puppy’s teeth regularly to prevent dental issues. Introduce this routine gradually using a pet-safe toothpaste.

  • Parasite Prevention: Follow your vet’s guidance on flea, tick, and worm prevention. Regular treatments are vital to maintaining your puppy's health.

  • Spaying/Neutering: When your puppy reaches the appropriate age, discuss spaying or neutering options with your vet to determine the best plan for your French Bulldog.

STEP 7: Socialization and Playtime
  • Interactive Toys: French Bulldogs are playful and enjoy engaging activities. Provide toys that stimulate them mentally and physically, such as treat-dispensing toys, interactive puzzles, and durable chew toys.

  • Bonding Time: Spend quality time with your puppy every day. This strengthens your bond and supports their social development.

  • Indoor Play Areas: Since French Bulldogs are typically indoor dogs, creating a stimulating environment is important. Provide toys for play, chew items, and comfortable areas where your puppy can relax and explore.

STEP 8: Proper Nail Care

Keeping your puppy’s nails trimmed is essential for their comfort and health. Long nails can cause joint stress and difficulty walking. Trim nails regularly or schedule vet/groomer visits to prevent overgrowth and protect furniture.

STEP 9: Teething & Chew Training
  • French Bulldog puppies go through a teething stage where chewing helps relieve discomfort. Offer safe, durable chew toys to protect their gums and teeth while preventing destructive chewing on shoes or furniture. Redirecting them to approved toys early sets the foundation for good habits.

  • Regular Vet Visits: Schedule regular vet checkups to maintain your puppy’s health.

  • By following these breeder-recommended steps, you’ll help your French Bulldog puppy grow into a healthy, happy adult dog. Investing in quality care and nutrition, including supplements like NuVet vitamins, will ensure your puppy enjoys a vibrant and fulfilling life.

Nuvet Ear Cleaner

Dog ears can be erect (pricked), bent or completely flopped over, but however they are shaped on the outside, the anatomy on the inside remains the same. Parasites, moisture and debris can easily be trapped inside the ear canal, leading to conditions that, if left unchecked, will invite bacteria and yeast to take up residence in the affected area. Our Ear Cleaner is a unique formulation containing all natural eucalyptus and soothing aloe vera. This is the perfect solution for maintaining healthy canine or feline ears. 🛒 Order Now with Code 648631
