THIS IS 

The hygiene and cleanliness of the French bulldog, like that of any other dog, is as important as that of humans, on the one hand for health and on the other of course so that he is always handsome and neat. It is not complicated but it does require doing it with a certain periodicity and order, but not excessively. 

#1 Hair brushing

Although they are short-haired dogs, it is recommended to brush them at least once a week, to remove all dead hair and superficial dirt, since otherwise they tend to scratch. There are gloves for this and brushes for dogs with spaced teeth, choose what you like best or is most comfortable. You should brush it from head to tail.

#2 BATHTIME

Bath time can be a lot of fun if your French Bulldog likes water, but this depends on the individual dog. You have to fill the bathtub with a little lukewarm water and put it inside carefully and gently. If he gets nervous you have to learn to calm him down and see bath time not as trauma. It is advisable to put a mat to prevent the dog from slipping 

You wet it with warm water preferably because it is the best way to get the dirt when rubbing with the dog shampoo, except in summer when you should put it cooler. You pour the soap on it and rub it all over the body including the face. There are many types and brands of soap, but for bulldogs it is advisable to take a specific shampoo since there are many that have allergies. 

Once you have rubbed it well all over the body, you rinse it very well avoiding leaving soap, since otherwise it will not stop scratching. You remove the excess water and put it on a towel. This has to be fast since as you know it will start to shake and soak everything! 

It is not necessary to wash him very often, and in fact it is recommended to do it only out of necessity, since you should not alter the pH of his skin. You must bathe him depending on the needs of your French bulldog, every 3 months would be fine. If you can, for example, clean their faces well once a week, with a soaked towel or cloth.

#3 Drying after bathing

It is very important to carefully dry the ears and the face, as well as the body. If it is spring / summer you can dry them superficially and leave them a little bit in the sun to dry, but if we are in winter / autumn you should dry them well, to avoid colds, first with the towel and then with a little dryer, but without directing the very hot air and close so that it does not bother 

# 4 Ear hygiene 

Perhaps this is one of the most important parts, since having such large and open ears, they get a lot of dirt, and if they are not pending they tend to have otitis and other ear problems. You should check his ears at least every two weeks, and if necessary clean them. Also when they scratch they get even more dirt.

There are ear hygiene products for dogs but you can do it very carefully with a cotton bud and some gauze. We must always soak the swabs with a little water and clean the outside area, being careful not to get too deep into the ear itself, and then with a good gauze it also soaked. 

# 5 CUT THE NAILS

You will also need to trim his nails as needed by your French bulldog. Some wear them more and it is not necessary to cut them very often, but you also have to check them every 2/3 weeks, and cut those that we see are very long. You have to do it with special scissors for dogs, which you will find in any pet store. 

#6 Oral hygiene

It seems a lie that we are talking about the teeth of dogs, but their dental hygiene is vital if you want your French bulldog to keep his teeth on the one hand and on the other not to overwhelm you with his breath. There are specific products for the dental hygiene of dogs that eliminate tartar and all the bacteria that your French bulldog accumulates daily in his mouth. You will have to get used to him little by little because it is something that he will not like very much at first.

Do not forget that the hygiene of your French bulldog is very important for its health as well as for its quality of life. If you do not have time, there are many canine beauty centers where for a small price they bathe them and do all this so that they are always well clean.
