The French Bulldog, also known as "Frenchie," is a miniature version of the larger Bulldog and is originated in France. They are a popular breed of companion dog or toy dog, known for their affectionate and playful nature, as well as their distinctive physical features. These dogs are beloved for their distinctive physical characteristics, including their bat-like ears, flat faces, stocky little dog, with a large square head that has a rounded forehead and compact bodies. They are generally good with children and other animals, and they tend to bond closely with their owners. Frenchies are also adaptable and can do well in a variety of living situations, from apartments to larger homes. Hence, they are suited to city living such as in Singapore. When it comes to care and grooming, Frenchies do not require any haircut. However, you need to pay special care to the skin folds around their face as they are prone to skin allergies. Training and socialization are also important for French Bulldogs because they are filled with energies. They can be difficult to train but with the right approach, a French Bulldog can be well-behaved and cooperative. One thing to keep in mind with French Bulldogs are their inherit breed's health issues that are caused due to selective breeding.

French Bulldogs are not a very active breed, a walk of 20 min daily is good enough to fulfil their exercise needs for busy owners.
When it is raining, owners can consider indoor games like fetch, frisbee, tug-of war. There are also a plethora of food based "IQ" games that can stimulate them. Teaching tricks such as sit, down, roll over, play dead is also an excellent opportunity for bonding and stimulation. In fact, many dogs get more tired after a short session of trick training compared to the usual walks!
Playtime and mental stimulation go hand in hand. Puzzle games, trick training can easily be learned from many youtube videos. Even a simple kong toy with treats inside will also provide much needed entertainment.
As French Bulldogs are small dogs, owners need to be careful not to overexercise them which can cause wear and tear of the joints. Gradual increase of exercise is needed to build muscle and stamina.
The French Bulldog have a short, smooth coat that requires minimal grooming and no haircut required. However, they do have some specific grooming needs to keep them looking and feeling their best.
Here are some grooming requirements and recommendations for Frenchies:
Brushing: French Bulldogs have a short, smooth coat that doesn't require much brushing. However you can brush once a week to remove the loose undercoat.
Bathing: Frenchies needs to be bathed every week in Singapore's humid climate. Use a mild dog shampoo (we recommend Silky shampoo) and be sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid any skin irritation. Lastly, remember to blow dry to make sure the skin is completely dry to prevent skin issues.
Trimming: No trimming of hair required.
Nail Clipping: The toe nails need to be clipped once every few months. Best to ask a professional groomer to do this to prevent bleeding when the nails are cut too close to the quick (blood vessel).
Teeth Cleaning: Brushing teeth daily is preferred, if not possible, weekly brushing is sufficient. Give raw bones regularly as enrichment which double as natural teeth cleaner.
Ear Cleaning: Their ears may have infection especially in Singapore's humid climate. Clean the ears with appropriate solution once a week
Wrinkle care: Frenchies have wrinkles on their face and body that require regular cleaning and drying to prevent skin infections. Gently cleaning these areas with a damp cloth and drying them thoroughly can help keep your Frenchie's skin healthy.
Overall, French Bulldogs are a relatively low-maintenance breed when it comes to grooming. Regular brushing, bathing, wrinkle care, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and teeth cleaning can help keep your Frenchie looking and feeling their best.
