French bulldog hygiene: a little effort for your companion

The hygiene and cleanliness of the French bulldog (like that of any other dog such as Pug) is as important as that of humans. Hygiene and cleanliness is essential, to keep the dog healthy and looks handsome and neat, always. It is not complicated but it does require a certain periodicity and order, but not too much.

Hair brushing

Although they are dogs with short hair, we recommend brushing at the least once a week to remove all the dead hair and surface dirt, otherwise tend to scratch. There are gloves for this and brushes for dogs with spaced teeth, choose what you like best or is most comfortable. You should brush it from head to tail.

Bath time

The hour of the bath can be great fun if the French bulldog likes water, but this depends on each dog. You have to fill the bathtub with a little warm water and put it inside carefully and gently. You wet it with warm water preferably because it is the best way to get the dirt when rubbing with the dog shampoo. Once you have rubbed it well all over the body, rinse it very well avoiding leaving soap, otherwise it will not stop scratching. You remove the excess water and put it on a towel. It is not necessary to wash him very often.

You must bathe him depending on the needs of your Frenchie dog. Every 3 months would be fine. It is very important to carefully dry the ears and the face, as well as the body

Ear hygiene

Perhaps this is one of the most important parts since they have such large and open ears. They get a lot of dirt. You should check his ears at least every two weeks, and if necessary clean them. Also when they scratch they get even more dirt. There are ear hygiene products for dogs but you can do it very carefully with a cotton bud and some gauze.

Cut nails

You will also need to trim his nails as needed by your French bulldog. Some wear them more and it is not necessary to cut them very often, but you also have to check them every 2/3 weeks, and cut those that we see are very long. You have to do it with special scissors for dogs, which you will find in any pet store.

There are various products available online. If you are confused, consult with the Vet. He will suggest whether your dog needs medical products or general products.
