It should come as no surprise that Frenchies require special food as they are very special dogs. The good news is that most dog foods are not safe for your French Bulldog but you can safely feed them a variety of human foods. With beef chicken turkey or salmon you can share your meal with your Frenchie without worrying about his health. It is also safe for your dog to eat wheat and grains since they have a high fiber content. As well rice is very good for Frenchies because it helps them with their digestive issues.
Diet should be rich in fruits and vegetables for your French Bulldog. You can feed your pooch apples bananas oranges mangoes cucumbers carrots sweet potatoes or even broccoli.
Watch out for carbs in your dogs diet because these dogs are prone to obesity.
Avocado potatoes grapes tomatoes chocolate bones of any kind and bread are foods that should be avoided by your French Bulldog. Limit salty foods to keep your dog healthy. Be sure to set aside your furry friends portion before seasoning your meal if you wish to share with him.
If you buy commercial dog food make sure the labels are clearly labeled and avoid products that contain preservatives cheap fillers or excessive protein content. You should choose foods that contain whole meat plant-based proteins and Omega-3 fats.
Unfortunately the flat face that made Frenchies so popular is causing them so many health problems but there are ways you can help your dog. You should offer your dog small meals and use special bowls so they can eat slowly thus reducing choking risks. Your veterinarian may recommend corrective surgery if your dog suffers from severe choking issues.
You should always keep in mind that French Bulldogs are prone to acid reflux and food allergies so they require a special diet even if they do not have major feeding issues. Rather than feeding them commercial food homemade foods are safer. Obviously not everything you eat is safe for your dog but there are a lot of options and you can have a lot of fun together at mealtime.
