Tips for Bathing your Frenchie
- Reward good behavior: Grooming can be a stressful experience for some Frenchies, so be sure to reward good behavior with treats, praise, or playtime. This can help make grooming sessions more enjoyable for both you and your dog.
- Establish a regular grooming routine: consistency is key when it comes to grooming your Frenchie. Establishing a regular grooming routine can help keep your Frenchie’s coat and skin healthy, and make grooming sessions more manageable for both you and your Frenchie.
- Use appropriate grooming tools: using low-quality grooming tools can make grooming your Frenchie a frustrating experience— invest in quality products and they’ll last you years to come.
- Brush your dog regularly: using a de-shedding brush like the
FURminator a few times a week can really cut down on your Frenchie’s shedding. - Bathe your dog when necessary: Bathing your Frenchie too frequently can dry out their skin, so only bathe your Frenchie when necessary. Use a dog-specific shampoo and warm (not hot) water, and be sure to rinse thoroughly.
- Trim your dog’s nails: Keeping your Frenchie’s nails trimmed is important for their comfort and health. Use nail clippers designed for dogs, and take care not to cut too far into the quick (the pink area inside the nail).
- Clean your dog’s ears: Clean your Frenchie’s ears regularly with a dog-specific ear cleaner to prevent infections.
- Brush your dog’s teeth: Regular dental care is important for your Frenchie’s overall health. Use a toothbrush and dog-specific toothpaste to brush your dog’s teeth.
- Check for fleas and ticks: Regularly check your Frenchie for fleas and ticks, and use appropriate flea and tick preventatives as recommended by your veterinarian.

Dog-specific shampoo
Make sure to use a shampoo formulated specifically for dogs, as human shampoo can irritate their skin.
DON’T use human shampoo on your Frenchie— it strips their coat of its natural oils which leads to skin issues.
Control your dog's shedding with this pH-balanced, soap-free shampoo.
It contains aloe vera, shea butter, green tea extract, and other natural ingredients to nourish skin.
- Gentle on their skin
- Controls shedding, dander, and allergens
- Moisturizes skin with Shea Butter & Omega Fatty Acids
Towels or hair dryer
You’ll need towels to dry your dog after their bath. Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer on a low or cool setting to dry your dog’s coat, but make sure not to use a high heat setting as this can harm their skin.
The Bone Dry Pet Towel is made of ultra-absorbent material that'll quickly dry your Frenchie after baths or rainy walks.
Its easy-to-clean and store design allows for convenient usage at home or on-the-go, making it a must-have for any dog owner.

Brush or comb
After your dog is dry, you’ll need to brush or comb their coat to remove any tangles or mats that may have formed during the bathing process.
