taking REALLY good care of him
taking really good care of him and take him to the vet every month
Take really good care of him. Right food, vet visit, exercise,love, obedience training. Oh, and neuter him. Frenchies are sooo cute.
Regular veterinary visits with teeth cleanings. Superior pet food with a omega-3 oil supplement like, Linatone. Keep him on heartworm preventatives and flea/tick preventatives. You can also talk to the breeder and ask if there are any genetic abnormalities in the dogs litter or family. The rest is up to mother nature.
But the time is irrelevant, it’s what you do with it that matters. Enjoy your cute Frenchie!!
TAKE EXTRA CARE OF HIM AND NEVER ACT HATEFUL TOWARDS HIM. OTHER THAN THAT YOU CAN NOT DO NOTHING. I HOPE YOUR DOGGY LIVES LONGER THAN THAT ACTUAL LIFESPAN.
choose another breed !!! I have English Bulldogs and have never had one live over 10 yrs. Frenchies arent really that different beside being a little shorter… still have some of the same health problems as english..
These breeds are known for breathing problems…
We all would love for our babies to live to be 20 yrs. old.. unfortunately not going to happen with this breed.. you either want a good loyal, loving, companion you can enjoy while you have the time with them or a dog that will live long… I have had 4 bullies that I had to say goodbye to… never gets easier
Study pedigrees looking for kennels with long living dogs,this usually goes hand in hand with breeders screening for health problems and avoided breeding dogs with soft palate problems.When you find someone breeding long living dogs,follow their suggestions for dog care to the letter.
healthy lifestyle and a good amount of excercise.
