🐾French Bulldog Puppy Essentials: What You Really Need Before Your Pup Comes Home

Getting ready for your new Frenchie? We know the excitement (and nerves!) that come with preparing for your new best friend. At Bully Vita, we help new puppy parents feel confident and ready. Here’s a list of must-have items that will make your French Bulldog’s transition into your home smoother—for both of you!

🛏️ Crate & Bedding

French Bulldogs love having a cozy, secure space to call their own. A crate isn't just for training—it’s your pup’s personal safe zone.

What to look for:

• Well-ventilated, sturdy crate (not too big)

• Soft, washable crate pad

• Blanket or snuggle toy with familiar scent (we send one home!)

🍽️ Bowls & Food

Make sure you have:

• Stainless steel or ceramic bowls (easy to clean and won’t hold bacteria)

• Puppy food that matches what your breeder is using (we’ll give you a starter pack!)

• Slow-feeder bowl if your pup tends to eat too fast

🎾 Toys for Teething & Play

Frenchies are playful, curious, and teething hard from about 8–16 weeks. Provide safe toys to satisfy their need to chew.

Best types of toys:

• Soft plush toys (with supervision)

• Rubber or silicone teething rings

• Treat-dispensing puzzle toys for mental stimulation

🚿 Grooming Basics

French Bulldogs don’t require extensive grooming, but having the basics on hand is a must.

Essentials include:

• Puppy shampoo

• Nail clippers or grinder

• Ear cleaner and cotton pads

• Soft brush for shedding control

💩 Housebreaking Supplies

Puppies need time to master potty habits, so be ready:

• Puppy pads for indoor training

• Enzyme cleaner for accidents

• A consistent potty schedule (we'll give you tips!)

🩺 Health & Safety Items

• A trusted veterinarian selected before pickup

• First aid kit (with nail styptic powder, gauze, tweezers)

• Flea/tick prevention approved for Frenchies (not all products are safe!)
