French Bulldogs: Allergies You Should Know
Even dog owners are not aware of the fact that dogs are at very high risks of getting allergies from the kind of environment they have, as well as the food they regularly eat. French Bulldogs are one of the breeds of dogs that have the fastest reaction to this. And the only way to know that your puppy or the one you are about to buy is affected by this, is to be aware of the symptoms it has.
Did you know that the dog's fur color can already determine if it's more prone to allergies? Allergies are known to attack those with the lightest fur colors and as it turns out, baby french bulldogs are one of them. Add to that the fact that smaller dogs get it the most as well. This is because their small size will make them inhale certain irritants that are on the floor and ground, unlike for bigger dogs that are not as close to the ground as them. The dog's fine hair may also be easier to acquire dirt and dust that can irritate the dog and cause many problems later on. And because the allergies may cause the do too much discomfort, one has to be extremely careful with this type of dog.
Try to notice if your dog is acting funny; this means an unusual and sudden behavior such as the constant rubbing and scratching of the face on appliances and furniture for example. Be aware on whether he scratches in a normal manner or in abnormal manner; which means too frequent and also goes with the chewing of the feet. This already shows that the irritants are way beneath the skin that the dog finds it unbearable and too much to handle, so to speak.

To remedy this, why not clean the feet and face of the dog with the use of a clean and soft cloth that's damp at the same time; this should be done every time the dog comes from outside of the house so it's assured that whatever was acquired outside will be taken away. The cloth has to be damp for the reason of providing relief on the irritated skin of the puppy/dog.
An allergy is something that seems to be coming back too many times and that is the same case for frequent and recurring ear infections; it's not only an infection but could already be an allergy you were just not aware of.

Take the dog to the vet immediately so an early diagnosis can be made and the right medication prescribed as well.
