Due to their bred traits, French Bulldogs tend to have a number of diseases. In addition to inflammations in the skin folds of the animals, there is a risk of urinary stone and problems with the locomotor system, such as herniated discs and hip or elbow dysplasia.
With an appropriate and balanced diet, the risk of such diseases can at least be reduced thanks to an optimal supply of nutrients. In addition to factors such as age, weight, activities, allergies and diseases, it should also be borne in mind that French bulldogs are prone to obesity.
