At Posh Pups Walkies, we pride ourselves on tailoring our services to suit the unique needs of every pup we have the pleasure of walking. Today, we’re turning our attention to one of the most charming and popular companions in the canine world — the French Bulldog.
Compact, charismatic, and full of personality, Frenchies make delightful companions. But beneath their dashing good looks and playful nature lie a few important considerations for their care — particularly when it comes to walkies.
Here’s our refined guide to walking your Frenchie with care, confidence, and a touch of Posh Pups flair:
Breathe Easy: Understanding the Brachycephalic Build
French Bulldogs are a brachycephalic breed, which simply means they have a short snout. While it adds to their distinctive appearance, it also makes breathing more laborious, especially in warmer weather or during intense exercise.
Our tip: Keep walks short and sweet, especially in the heat. We always monitor their pace and breathing, ensuring every stroll is gentle and enjoyable.
Time It Right: Avoid the Heat
Frenchies can overheat easily, so it’s best to avoid the midday sun. At Posh Pups Walkies, we schedule outings around you, so if a Walkies happens to be on a hot day, we will find a shaded area to walk — depending on temperature, and time of day — to keep them safe and comfortable.
Our tip: always carry portable water bowls and take regular hydration breaks. After all, a stylish stroll is also a safe one.
Harness Their Style: Say No to Collar
Due to their stocky build and sensitive airways, a Frenchie is best walked with a well-fitted harness rather than a collar. A harness helps distribute pressure more evenly across their body and protects their delicate neck area.
Our tip: we always ensure each pup’s gear fits comfortably — because comfort is just as important as couture.
Keep Minds (and Noses) Busy
French Bulldogs are intelligent, social creatures. They may not be marathon runners, but they do enjoy mental stimulation and the chance to engage with their surroundings.
Our tip: We incorporate sniff stops, brief games, and gentle socialising into their walks to provide a more enriching experience — one that satisfies both body and brain.
The Posh Pups Promise
We believe every dog deserves care tailored to their needs — and Frenchies are no exception. With the right approach, their walks can be safe, stimulating, and stylish.
If you have a fabulous Frenchie at home and you’re seeking premium walking services, at an affordable price, that go above and beyond, we’d be delighted to welcome them into the Posh Pups family.
