Winter Safety for French Bulldogs

Keeping Your Frenchie Warm & Healthy

French Bulldogs may be tough in attitude, but winter weather can be hard on their short coats and sensitive breathing. As temps drop,here’s how to protect your squishy-faced sidekick:

Bundle Up

Frenchies need winter gear.

Sweaters for cold days,

Waterproof coats for snow,

Harness only — avoid tight neck pressure,

Short Outdoor Time,

Keep potty breaks quick in freezing temps.

Watch for shivering, paw lifting, or whining — that means it’s time to head in.

Paw Protection

Use paw balm or booties and rinse after walks to remove ice-melt salts.

Watch Breathing.

Cold air + brachycephalic breathing can be tough.

Avoid heavy outdoor play and consider a humidifier indoors.

Keep Cozy Indoors

Blankets, warm rooms, and mental enrichment keep your Frenchie happy until spring.
