What You Need to Know
French Bulldogs frequently develop food allergies — often to chicken or beef — presenting as skin issues, ear infections, and digestive upset. Their flat face causes them to gulp air while eating increasing flatulence and bloat risk. Slow feeder bowls are recommended. Their low exercise tolerance means even small caloric excesses cause rapid weight gain. All standard toxic foods (chocolate, grapes, onions, xylitol) are equally dangerous.
