Product Information

General Purpose – A good general-purpose shampoo for Bulldogs will be hypoallergenic and made with natural moisturizers and conditioning agents.

Despite the claims that manufacturers put on the bottle, there’s no beating the cleaning power of good old soap. However, soap can dry your dog’s skin and cause annoying and often painful irritations – so manufacturers went looking for a solution. Short-haired dogs with smooth coats, like the Bulldog, are usually considered easier to groom and bathe than dogs with longer coats. That’s true for Bulldogs, as long as you take care of their wrinkles. We would consider them a “wash n’ go” dog. You can give your Bulldog a bath and usually let him air dry – unless it’s winter. Keep him indoors to dry before letting him go outside. But this breed doesn’t need a blow dryer or a haircut. As long as you keep his wrinkles clean and dry, he should be relatively easy to groom and bathe. Of course, there are always exceptions and some dogs may need a special shampoo or a little more help with their skin and coat. Once you’ve cleaned the creases it’s of the utmost importance that you dry them properly. They’re slightly sealed, they’re warm, and if you don’t dry them properly after bathing – they are moist too. As we mentioned above this combination makes the creases quite literally the perfect breeding grounds for bacteria. The bacteria that grow there will inevitably cause your pooch to stink, and if neglected over the long run they can cause infection or more serious skin issues too.

We can imagine that you’re sensing a pattern forming by this point in the article. Almost all of the breed specific bathing advice that applies to French Bulldogs revolves around the care and attention their creases need. We mentioned waterless shampoo earlier in the article as a way to keep on top of the crease cleaning, but another great alternative is doggie wet wipes. Healthy Breeds Chamomile Dog Shampoo with Oatmeal contains the natural botanical extracts of chamomile, cactus, calendula, fir needle oil, colloidal oatmeal and aloe vera. There’s no getting around the price of this product, it’s much more expensive than all the other shampoos that we’ve talked about today. However, if your dog is really suffering from skin issues, there’s no better shampoo on the market that’s available without a prescription, and if it sounds like the kind of thing your pooch would benefit from, you should make every effort to switch to this shampoo as soon as possible. A Few Tips On Bathing Your French Bulldog We’ve looked all over the internet (and in stores) to find the best and worst shampoos for French Bulldogs. Because Frenchie’s have very few breed specific needs it was hard for us to narrow down the options to one overall recommendation. We are going to list a few of the runners up in the sections below, but in our opinion, at the moment, the best shampoo for French Bulldogs is Buddy Wash’s Original Lavender & Mint Dog Shampoo & Conditioner.

Even if your French bulldog does not need a bath more than every few weeks, you’ll still need to clean beneath the wrinkles and folds to prevent bacteria overgrowth frequently. Shedding Control The Bulldog is not a high-maintenance breed like many others, but his skin and coat do require a certain degree of care. By following these tips and using one of our recommended dog shampoos, you can keep your Bulldog’s skin and coat in optimal condition. FAQ:French Bulldogs do not need to be bathed as often as other breeds. It’s a good idea to limit bath time to twice a month at the most. However, you will need to clean out his wrinkles at least once per week to prevent infection and cut down on odors. If he gets dirty playing outside, or his face gets messy from eating, you’ll want to clean him more often than once per week.

If you don’t clean your Bulldog’s wrinkles regularly he can develop skin fold dermatitis. This can occur not just on his face but also in the wrinkles around his tail. If you see signs of infection, take your dog to the vet. Your dog may need a medicated shampoo and baths several times per week to get rid of any bacteria or yeast that have made their homes in the wrinkles. With any dog, it’s important to rinse the coat thoroughly after the bath, removing all traces of shampoo and conditioner. If you leave behind any residue, it can make your dog itch and scratch. This can lead to skin problems later. Make sure you rinse your dog completely any time you use a bath product. We’ve mentioned the benefits of tearless French Bulldog shampoo already, but product wise – it’s the best thing you can get your hands on.

Give Their Natural Oils A Little Helping Hand – We’ve just talked about the natural oils that your pooch produces that keeps their coat looking great – and it’s very important that you give your pooch all they need to produce them efficiently. Look out for specialist foods (or treats) that contain vitamins, minerals, and oils that are designed to promote healthy glossy coats. Use a soft, clean, and moist washcloth to get rid of dirt and debris between the folds. Make sure to pay close attention to wrinkles that are especially deep. It can be easy for bacteria to grow and multiply if you don’t do a good job of cleaning your dog. After you wipe him down, use a soft, clean, dry towel to remove any remaining moisture. Moisture can feed bacteria growth. It’s also a good idea to use a specially-formulated wrinkle cream for french bulldogs and apply it to the skin folds to prevent irritation and inflammation.
