French Bulldog Dog Grooming Instruction - Brushing Hair and Coat
Most dog's hair and coats need some attention. The French Bulldog dog grooming instruction for caring for your dog's hair or coat is as follows:

  • The French Bulldog has a short, smooth and fine coat that doesn't require a lot of grooming at all. Once per week or fortnight should be enough to keep this breed's coat looking healthy and shiny
  • Spend around 15 minutes or so thoroughly grooming your dog or puppy
  • Start at the head of your dog or puppy and use a slicker brush to groom through the coat
  • Grooming will help to remove knots, tangles and dead or loose hairs
  • Be careful when combing or brushing around delicate areas
  • This breed should be bathed approximately once per month (see below for instructions)

French Bulldog Dog Grooming Instruction - Bathing your Dog
Bathing your dog is very important for its health and hygiene. During bathing check your dog for lumps, bumps, parasites, fleas and skin irritations or allergies. Many Frenchies cannot swim so bear this in mind when bathing them. French Bulldog Bathing instruction is as follows:

  • Wash your dog or puppy when they are dirty or smell!
  • Gather bathing equipment and place bathing tools and shampoo near to bathing area
  • Place a mat and towel next to bath
  • Check the water temperature of the bath - ensure that a minimal amount of water is used
  • Gradually place the dog in the bath - be aware that this may frighten your pet
  • Gently shampoo your pet - be careful of delicate areas such as eyes and ears
  • Rinse shampoo and towel dry. Then brush the hair

French Bulldog Dog Grooming Instruction - Trimming Nails
Some dogs do not need their nails trimmed as they are kept short by general activities. However, should your dog's nails become long then they should be trimmed. It is important to know exactly what you are doing, as cutting too deep into your French Bulldog dog's nails can cause damage and pain. Written instruction is not enough as the risk of hurting your French Bulldog is too high.

  • Your vet can help initially by demonstrating how to trim your dog's nails and supervise your first attempt
  • Spend some time touching your dog's paws and gently squeezing the area around the nails in order to familiarize them with this sensation
  • Seek advice from your vet about the most appropriate nail clippers for your pet
