I’m pretty sure my Frenchie is allergic to Bermuda grass. I give him 10mg Zyrtec daily during allergy season and bathe him often with oatmeal dog shampoo. I’m getting ready to redid his yard with Zoysia. It is supposed to be one of the least allergic grasses.

Our Frenchie gets bumps on his back and starts to lose hair when the grass here in Arkansas turns green. We take periodic trips to Colorado and it clears up. We get Cytopoint shots at the vet, use oatmeal shampoo, wipe his feet after he goes out. I try to supervise him and make sure he does’t...

Our 4 year-old Frenchie had problems digesting food all of his life. Six months ago we took him off dry food because he was not chewing it up and was swallowing it whole. We put him on Freshpet (slice and serve roll) tender chicken with vegetables mashed up really fine and mixed with a small...

Try feeding him ground beef, cooked medium, chopped up in very small pieces.

Pretty sick and tired of going to veterinarians who wanted to X-ray, do blood work, and prescribe Rx, then charge hundreds of dollars. Whatever happened to common sense veterinary care?

I may have figured out his problem: KIBBLE! He doesn’t chew it, just swallows it whole. I think it’s clogging up his esophagus or someplace until it dissolves. I took him off dry food 12 days ago and switched to Freshpet mixed with a small amount of ground beef and he hasn’t had any problems...

We left our 4 year-old male Frenchie alone today for 7 1/2 hours. Got home and he was glad to see us, ate, played as usual. Then tonight he starts licking obsessively. I gave him a 25mg Benedryl, but that didn’t seem to help. This went on for a couple of hours, then I decided to bathe him with...

My 4 year-old male Frenchie periodically refuses to eat anything. This is usually for about a day, sometimes two. He refuses food, treats, and doesn’t drink any water. After a day or so of this, he is back to normal. His weight is normal and doesn’t exhibit any symptoms of being in pain or...

I can’t tell much about his teeth. Trying to examine them is like prying open a vise. I’m taking him to the vet this week. Hopefully they can check his teeth W/O putting him to sleep.

Thanks, Arm and Hammer also sells tartar control, but we haven’t tried it.

My 2 1/2 year old male Frenchie swallows dry dog food whole without chewing it up. Apparently much of it never makes it to his stomach. He then of course throws it up. He was on Purina Salmon and Rice, Sensitive skin and stomach. We switched to wet food, Purina Salmon and Rice and Hills Salmon...
