It's Summer and it's hot, We've got some tips to play with your frenchie while keeping them cool and safe!
It may require a little shopping!
First, French Bulldogs have a hard time regulating their body temperatures, so for hot or cold weather, Keeping them comfortable is key.
Here in Florida, We've become professionals in managing them in the hot weather.
Firstly, While many French Bulldogs cannot swim well, An hour at the beach with the sea-breeze, Playing in the surf, they really seem to do well and enjoy. Watch their paws walking in the hot sand, and get the car ac on once you get back to the car, promptly. If you are playing at the beach, or in a home pool, We do recommend having a life jacket on hand for our furry little friends.
Dont have water around! Awesome!
Go grab a cheap Plastic kiddy pool and your frenchie will be so happy.
We like to fill our kiddy pools with cool water, and our frenchies absolutely love laying in it, to make it more fun we make ice pops for them and throw them in the pool and they just go bonkers.
If you want to take a walk, aim for morning or evening when it is cooler, we have a motto that a bored dog is better than a dead dog.
If your frenchies tongue starts to curl out of their mouth, it is time to get them wet, on a cooling mat, or inside asap to avoid over-heating which can be fatal for this smash faced breed. We also like those ice cooling bandanas.
If your on a budget, your local home-goods typically has the cooling mats during the season.
NEVER Leave your pup out in your backyard unattended when temperatures are above 74degrees.
Many of our Frenchie Fams use a doggie stroller for summer strolls through the local greenmarket with a cooling mat under their Puppers.
