⚠️☀️ FRENCH BULLDOG HEAT ADVISORY ☀️⚠️
With the extreme heat we’ve been having, this is an important reminder for all of our Frenchie families:
French Bulldogs cannot tolerate heat like many other breeds can. Because of their short noses and compact airways, they can overheat VERY quickly — sometimes before you realize they’re in trouble.
🐾 Keep your Frenchie indoors in the A/C as much as possible.
🚽 Potty breaks should be QUICK — literally out, potty, and right back inside. This is not the weather for hanging around outside.
🌅 If you take your Frenchie for a walk, go very early in the morning or later in the evening once temperatures and pavement have cooled. Skip the walk completely if it’s still hot or humid.
🚗 NEVER leave your Frenchie in a vehicle, even for a few minutes.
💧 Keep fresh, cool water available at all times.
🔥 Remember that pavement, concrete, decks, and other surfaces can become dangerously hot and burn paw pads.
⚠️ Watch closely for signs of overheating such as excessive or frantic panting, heavy drooling, weakness, stumbling, vomiting, very red or pale gums, confusion, or collapse. Heatstroke is a medical emergency.
Frenchies may want to stay outside and play, but they don’t always know when they’ve had enough. We have to make that decision for them.
Please keep those babies cool and safe! ❤️🐾
When in doubt — keep them inside.
