Bringing home a new French Bulldog puppy is one of the most excitingāand heartwarmingāexperiences youāll ever have. At Bully Vita, we want to make sure you and your new pup start off on the right paw! Whether youāre a first-time Frenchie owner or adding another to the pack, hereās a helpful guide to make the transition smooth and joyful.
š” Preparing Your Home
Before your puppy arrives, youāll want to puppy-proof your space. French Bulldogs are curious and playful, so clear floors of anything they could chew or swallow, and block off unsafe areas like stairs or rooms with breakables.
Puppy Prep Checklist:
Crate and cozy bedding
Food and water bowls
Puppy-safe toys and teething chews
Puppy pads and cleaning supplies
Collar, harness, and leash
Baby gates (if needed)
Recommended food (ask us what your pup is used to!)
š You can find our favorite Frenchie-approved supplies on our Recommended ProductsĀ page.
š¾First Day Home
Your puppyās first day in your home should be calm and structured. Keep introductions low-key, and give them a quiet area where they can rest and explore at their own pace.
Tips for a smooth first day:
Stick to the same food schedule they had with us
Let them explore one room at a time
Keep children and other pets calm and supervised
Take them outside frequently to encourage potty training
Donāt worry if theyāre shy or sleepyāthis is normal!
š Establish a Routine Early
Frenchies thrive on routine. Set up a daily schedule for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and sleep. Puppies feel more secure when they know what to expect each day.
At Bully Vita, we start early socialization and basic training, so your pup will already be familiar with some structure. Consistency will help build on that foundation.
𩺠First Vet Visit
Within the first few days, schedule a vet checkup. Bring all the health records and vaccination info we provided. This visit ensures your pup is settling in well and gives your vet a chance to get to know them.
Donāt forget to ask about:
Deworming schedule
Future vaccinations
Flea/tick prevention (Frenchies can be sensitive to some products)
ā¤ļø Bonding With Your Pup
French Bulldogs are loyal, loving companions. Spend plenty of time cuddling, playing, and getting to know each other. Use positive reinforcement when trainingāFrenchies respond best to treats, praise, and a gentle tone.
Remember: youāre not just raising a petāyouāre welcoming a new family member.
