What is the first thing you notice on someone’s dog that is walking down the street? Well, it’s certainly a dog’s coat. When we talk about the French bulldog breed, they are famous for their courageous personalities and iconic appearances. However, Frenchie’s coat also makes them become spotted wherever they appear.

As a reputable breeder of these wonderful pooches, I want to introduce you with the importance of making their fur shiny and healthy. Frenchie’s coat tells a lot about his health and life habits. It reveals everything about his nutrition, grooming and many other aspects of lives.

The role of nutrition

Just like in people, a dog’s diet takes an important role in improving his coat health. Since French bulldogs are on a higher tendency to suffer from skin allergies, including different kinds of fruits and fish will help them deal with dryness and dull-looking coat.

Food rich in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids will help your Frenchie’s coat to look smooth and shiny, while fruits rich in antioxidants and vitamins C and E serve to improve the elasticity and smoothness of a dog’s skin.

Therefore, I advise you to consult your vet what ingredients to include in your batpig’s diet. It will certainly leave dozens of beneficial effects not only on his skin but also on his heart and other important organs.

Bathing is a ‘must’

Despite the fact that Frenchies are not good swimmers at all, they simply enjoy cooling off and bathing during summer months. French bulldogs will actually be very thankful by providing them baths on high temperatures because of their tendency to overheat.

How can we forget on using towels? Every Frenchie owner needs them not only to absorb water from a dog’s fur after bathing but also for paw cleaning. Frenchie’s paws require regular cleaning from mud, dust, mites, and pollen, otherwise, they can become swollen, red and itchy.

Unfortunately, those symptoms may lead to a serious infection called Pododermatitis. Therefore, regular checking for the plant and dirt stuck between your dog’s toes is a must.

This solution is great for itchy spots (not open wounds) and for killing yeast overgrown on a dog’s skin.
