In that case, oral hygiene should never be a problem for them. However, when feeding them something else, such as kibble, it is essential to brush their teeth at least once a week, if not every day. Dental hygiene is an absolute must. Now you may be wondering why this is so important for your baby.
Well, if your dog is three years or older, they have an 85% chance of getting some gum disease or the other. It happens because bacteria build up in their teeth over the years and can cause diseases such as gingivitis in their oral cavities.
Also, if their gums are bleeding, harmful toxins such as bacteria would enter their bodies and affect other organs. It is especially true for the Frenchies who are getting on in years. With proper oral care, you can easily add a couple of years to their usual lifespan.
Getting them on a diet of raw food
You must never feed them processed dog food sold commercially. Most of such food – referred to as kibble – is far inferior protein sources. These proteins are just fillers. So, always look at the list of ingredients used to make the product.
If you see a lot of corn, soy, wheat, or white rice, it is time you switched to food more appropriate for canines. You can do a little test if you want to.
Just take the food you are feeding your dog and soak it in a bowl that contains water. Let it be in such a condition for around 15 to 20 minutes. If you see it becoming spongy and blowing up, you can be sure that there is no meat in your dog’s diet. It is just cereal.
Experts recommend that you feed raw meat to your French bulldog or any other raw food diet. The first preference, in this case, is always bones and protein of the highest quality. If you are not at ease with preparing raw food on your own, you can get raw food that is available commercially.
