French Bulldogs are loving companions, but health concerns like Frenchie allergies can sometimes affect their comfort and happiness.
In this blog, you will learn how allergies impact Frenchies and how, at BlueHaven French Bulldogs, we carefully breed, test, and support our puppies to help you enjoy a healthier, happier bond.
Firstly, Frenchie allergies happen when your French Bulldog’s immune system reacts to things it shouldn’t, like food ingredients or dust. You may see itchy skin, scratching, licking paws, or red patches on the skin.
“Many owners report allergy problems as one of the most common health issues in the breed. In one study, about 36.7% of Frenchies were reported by owners to have allergy concerns.”
Allergies can make your pup uncomfortable. Moreover, constant itchiness can distract from playtime, cuddles, and sweet moments you share with your Frenchie. That’s why managing and preventing allergies early is very important for a happy life together.
“Many dogs show allergy symptoms before the age of 2, often starting when they are still puppies. Early signs like itching, ear redness, or paw licking should not be ignored, as they can worsen over time.” (Source)
At BlueHaven French Bulldogs, we care about these concerns from the very beginning. That’s why we focus on responsible breeding, health testing, and ongoing support—so you can enjoy a stronger bond with a healthier, happier Frenchie.
At BlueHaven French Bulldogs, we understand how frustrating Frenchie allergies can be. That’s why we focus on breeding healthy, well-screened puppies that give you the best chance at long-lasting puppy love.
Firstly, before any puppy goes to a new home, each pup gets a full veterinary checkup between 6 and 8 weeks. This vet inspection makes sure every BlueHaven Frenchie is free from serious conditions—including early signs of allergy-related issues—before coming into your life.
Secondly, our breeders perform genetic testing on moms and dads before breeding. Genetic testing means we look for hereditary conditions and sensitivities that might lead to health problems, including allergies. This careful process reduces the chance that your puppy will inherit health problems and Frenchie allergy-related issues later.
Moreover, when you bring your BlueHaven Frenchie home, you receive complete health records, including vet check reports and up-to-date vaccination stickers. You will know exactly what has been done and what to watch out for as your puppy grows.
Above all, we don’t just sell puppies and disappear. If there is ever a health concern—even rare ones—we work with you every step of the way. We will help you with medical care or options that benefit you and your pup.
Common signs include itchy skin, frequent scratching, paw licking, red ears, hair loss, and stomach upset. These symptoms may appear early and can worsen without proper care, diet management, and veterinary support.
Many French Bulldogs show allergy symptoms before the age of two. Puppies and young adults are especially vulnerable because their immune systems are still developing, making early prevention and monitoring very important.
Yes, genetic testing helps identify hereditary health risks in breeding dogs. By avoiding high-risk pairings, breeders can reduce the chances of puppies developing inherited sensitivities and long-term allergy-related health problems.
BlueHaven offers ongoing breeder support to guide you through health concerns. They help you understand symptoms, work with veterinarians, and explore care options so your Frenchie stays comfortable and well-supported.
