But usually, the amount of food depends on your dog size, age, structure, metabolism and level of activity. Dogs don’t have the same nutritional needs. The quality of dog food also varies. It’s better to give your dog more nutritious food instead of feeding several times. To maintain the dog’s skin and coat’s health, it’s essential to provide proper nutrition for the dog through a balanced diet, vitamins and healthy treatments.

A small yard or terrace of your apartment is enough for him to be active and do his daily physical activities.

Grooming

Bathing and brushing

If you don’t have the patience to brush your dog’s hair constantly, the French Bulldog is the best choice. Because he needs a little grooming, you should bathe this lively and intelligent dog every week or every month.

Choosing the right products and shampoo for your dog’s skin and coat is essential to achieving the desired results. Before bathing your French Bulldog, it’s better to wipe his entire body with a dryer to remove any dirt from the skin and excess loose hair.

Once you have selected the best products for your dog, it’s bath time! One of the most important areas for cleanliness is the dog’s face. Cleanse the entire face and wrinkles once or twice a week. Any wrinkle, however minor, can trap bacteria. Special attention to those areas is essential. To maintain freshness and proper hygiene, you can rub your dog’s face between baths.

To keep the coat short and smooth in excellent condition, it’s better to use a moisturizing spray after bathing and drying. This spray allows the skin and coat to retain moisture to maintain full hydration.
