Dehydration

Prevent dehydration by providing your dog with unrestricted access to fresh and cool water both indoors and outside. Ice cubes and frozen chicken or beef broth encourage your dog to take in more fluids and help keep it cool. You can also feed your dog wet dog food during the summer to increase its fluid intake. We don’t recommend this year round but if you live in a hotter climate it is recommended during hotter months.

Olive at Central Park and Abby playing her pool. We have a large fenced in park of our farm so that our Frenchies can run, play and socialize. We keep frozen water buckets outside and a kiddy pool for them to play in. We have doggie doors so that they can go inside and relax in the air conditioning and get a drink of fresh water inside as well. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you never leave your French Bulldog outside in the heat without supervision, shade and water alone on a hot day aren't enough.

Scammers drive me crazy!!!

SCAMMERS drive me crazy!!! They steal everything from our whole website to pictures of our adults, our puppies and our children. Every time I report one scammer another pops up. I'm guessing I need to buy a watermark program and try to do more on my end to protect our photos from being used by these horrid people. I've worked very hard to try and inform the consumer. I've even had to work the with FBI when our whole website was stolen. But just to give you the biggest red flags...

1. If the puppy is under $2000... BEWARE!
2. If the seller ONLY takes Western Union... BEWARE!
3. If they only give you a PO Box...BEWARE!

It saddens me when people share the scams with me and talk about how they were taken or almost taken by scammers. I hate the watermark because it is one more thing that I have to do before sharing pictures and can't do when I share right from my phone. I also don't like that the watermark takes away from the picture and families buying the puppies don't really want that. But to protect this is the new direction and I'll be looking into watermark programs and get that going ASAP.

I could go on and on with my frustration but using my Children in your scam...special place for you that is for sure!!!  Gonna close with that but really...buyer beware...check references! We even have our hometown family veterinarian as one of our references. Ask for & Check these!

Pet Care is important to us...

We try to keep our families as informed as possible. If we ready great information we like to pass it on. The more you know...the better life is for everyone. Hope all of our families are having a fun and safe Summer! Christina and I are off to France next month hope we see lots of French bulldogs while we are there. Be sure we will take pictures of all that we meet.

Burned Foot Pads

Sidewalk, patio, street, sand. and other surfaces can burn your dog’s footpads. Walk your dog in the morning and at night when outdoor surfaces are coolest. Press your hand onto surfaces for 30 seconds to test them before allowing your dog to walk on them. If it is painful for you, it will be painful for you, it will be painful for your dog.

Summer Sunburn

Dogs can burn in the sun just like people can. White, light-colored, and thinly coated dogs have an increased risk of sunburn. Sunburn causes pain, itching, peeling, and other problems. To prevent sunburn, apply a waterproof sunscreen formulated for babies or pets. Be sure to cover the tips of your dog’s ears and nose, the skin around its mouth, and its back.
