It is important to get some nutrition in. I also recommend buying a package of ” Stella & Chewy’s Chicken Freeze Dried Dog Food” for the times when your puppy looses his/her appetite and doesn’t want to eat. Mix with some puppy milk (not cow milk) – enough to wet -or water. You can also make a “gruel” from Gerber baby chicken in the jar and Gerber baby rice cereal in the box. Try some yummy canned food first mixed with the dry food if no luck, try just canned food or a piece of chicken. If your puppy is stressed or exhibits loss of appetite (for example with carsickness), treat the pup with “force feedings”, making the little one eat from your hand, off of a spoon or from a syringe – until they start to feel better, just like you would an ill child. Their first couple days are going to be the toughest. I spend many hours raising these babies as my own children and I worry about them! Puppies stress at just being in a new environment. Be courteous! If you receive your puppy by plane, once you get home and settled, please send me an email note and let me know that your puppy arrived safely.

The best French Bulldog toys will not easily crumble, shred, or tear, and will have no small or hazardous parts that could cause your French Bulldog to choke if accidentally eaten. Do your research and monitor your frenchies when they play with toys you provide to them. Frenchies can seriously die from being given the wrong toys and chew bones. You have to be very scrutinizing when choosing toys for your French Bulldogs because they’re very, very susceptible to choking.

Puppies can get into lot’s of trouble if they are left unsupervised, so it is necessary to put them in a playpen or other small confined area to keep them safe. It should be large enough to hold a little bed, a play area, small dish for food and water, with enough room left over to relieve themselves if necessary. Make sure you have a designated " Safe Area": either a baby or puppy playpen or baby gate to partition a small area. Just as you would for a child or baby! You need to move all houseplants, electrical cords, household cleaning supplies, mouse poison, or anything else dangerous near floor level that a small puppy could possible chew on or be harmed by.
