French Bulldog
The flagship flat-faced breed — airway obstruction (BOAS) is nearly universal, with high heatstroke and no-fly risks. IVDD and skin-fold infections are also common; the care keys are weight control, avoiding heat and avoiding strenuous exercise.
Wesen: Cuddly and quiet, low exercise needs, a snoring city companion
🩺 Typische Krankheiten & Risiken

Snoring and exercise intolerance need assessment; severe cases need surgery
Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)
No jumping on/off furniture; control weight
Skin fold infections
Clean and dry facial folds daily
Food allergy / atopic dermatitis
Recurrent itching and ear inflammation — work up allergens
Corneal ulcers
