Puppy Stuff
I want to give you some insight on what that means to us:
- strollers (single or double pet)
- doggie cooling pads
- bottled or filtered water
- ice in their water....we do live in Texas!!
- stainless steel bowls
- washable dog beds
- fake grass for potty training. If you have ever heard of "Parvo" then you know how deadly a virus it is. If you don't please go watch, read, and learn as much as humanly possible about this horrifying sickness. Our puppies do not touch unknown grass until they have had at least three sets of shots. This is NOT easy, but "PARVO" can live in the ground for up to two years without a host!!!!! Now you get it! We now have new dirt and new sod for our puppy area!
- puppy pens and crates
- puppy beds
- puppy pop up pens for traveling
- countless blankets
- harnesses and show training leads
- puppy training classes for basic commands & conformation for show prospects
- special designed "Child/Frenchie" proof fence around the pool
- doggie life jackets for swimming, but never when we are not in the pool first
- doggie sweaters
- doggie jackets
- doggie pajamas
- doggie dresses
- Halloween costumes, my fav! And this is the short list 😊
Cleaning, Food & Health
- brushing their teeth just like us will help keep those kisses clean!
- use dental "drinking water additive" in drinking water Such as: C.E.T. Aquadent
- baths before traveling and of course before shows, as well as when they come home
- baths at home: once to every other week
- we use hypoallergenic shampoos with NO harsh alcohol. Some oatmeal shampoos can cause more issues than help due to the natural increase in yeast these dogs have on their body
- hypoallergenic wet wipes for face folds, paws, booty, pocket under the tail, and well just never go anywhere without wet wipes lol!
- trim nails about once to every other week (we use a Dremel too)
- clean ears with yeast/ bacteria control cleaner on spa days
- check feet/ears/folds/tail pocket/booty almost daily
- vitamins
- Daily Multivitamins (NuVet) (dog zymes)
- Joint supplements when they become seniors
- Our breeding females
- Folate + 600mcg
- Fish oil for all (never salmon always mackerel, sardines, anchovies)
- Satin balls and peanut butter balls for birthday treats :)
You will miss stuff, you will forget stuff, you will run out and try something new, but for sure be careful about FOOD. We use Hills Science Diet because the kibbles are very small and some Frenchies do not like to chew so much as just swallow it. (Always add water to kibble) I'm not saying it's the best ever, but we try to go with what works. We also use Fish Oils, (not the salmon one) and Sardines in water only never in oil, pre & probiotics. This also helps with the digestive problems this breed is so famous for and which keeping those folds looking much healthier too. I believe the nice way to put it is "air kisses" LOL!! Also, be aware that what works for one dog doesn't mean it will work for them all. We try our best and if need be, we will go on a prescription diet.
We follow the Veterinarian's recommendations for deworming, vaccinations, and health exams. Now I will say we do 4 rounds of puppy vaccinations, but of course, will always follow what studies have proven to our veterinarians.
