They are America's most popular dog breed 3 plus years running and their popularity is showing no signs of slowing. Many new French Bulldog parents, however, quickly become shocked about all that comes with caring for a Frenchie. The dedication it takes to raise and care for the average dog is a major commitment, but the French Bulldog takes it to a level of labor intensiveness and expense some are not prepared for.

In light of this reality causing the French Bulldog to become among the most given up dog breeds, Dr. Roger dedicates this episode to educating prospective Frenchie parents about what they may be choosing to take on. In addition, Dr. Roger outlines measures prospective Frenchie parents can take to minimize the expense and work it takes to raise and care for this very high maintenance dog breed.
