Room And Board
A crate and dog bed will give your puppy a comfortable space that is all his own! Crate training can be a wonderful tool to enhance the relationship you're building with your puppy! Small breed dog food is designed for high energy puppies and may have too many calories for your Frenchie. For this reason, we recommend NutriSource food for larger breeds to avoid unnecessary pressure on hips and other joints. Also, potty pads are a wonderful tool for training your puppy, but also a necessary option for winter-time pottying if outdoor weather gets too cold for delicate doggy paws!
Having his own spot will help your puppy feel safe and secure. A basic crate meets this need. amzn.to/3Cowk8Z

Good nutrition with appropriate calorie content is important! amzn.to/3X8z962
Don't forget that small puppies eat well out of small, low-sitting dishes, but larger/older dogs may do better with raised bowls! amzn.to/3GHVces amzn.to/3CpOoiW
As much as we love our Frenchies, they can't go everywhere with us, and can need more space than a crate provides if left alone for longer time periods. This puppy play pen is the perfect set-up when paired with potty pads to protect your floors! amzn.to/3j3E0qy
