FAMILY-RAISED IN HOME · DELIVERED TO NEW YORK
The French Bulldog is the most popular dog in New York City for a reason: quiet, compact, and content with a short walk and a long nap. HonestPet matches New York families with vetted breeders who raise Frenchie litters at home and screen the parents for the breathing and spine problems the breed is known for, and every puppy arrives vet-checked, microchipped, and delivered free by ground anywhere in the state.
Health-screened parents · 10-year health guarantee · Free ground delivery to New York.
THE HONESTPET DIFFERENCE
Buying a puppy online takes trust. Here's what you can count on when you work with us.
Frenchies are people dogs, and the ones raised in a living room arrive already fluent in people. Our breeders raise litters at home, around kids, deliveries, and the TV, so your puppy settles into a Park Slope apartment, a Long Island colonial, or a Westchester split-level without the first-week anxiety that a kennel-raised dog brings with it.
Our breeders begin Early Neurological Stimulation when puppies are three days old and follow Puppy Culture practices until they’re ready to join their new families. Short, gentle daily handling helps puppies become more comfortable with new experiences as they grow.
Each puppy’s listing identifies the DNA testing status of both mom and dad. Ask to review available parent health records, including any breathing, spine, hip, and knee assessments; screening coverage varies by parent.
We'll tell you which puppy fits your life, not just the one with the best ears. A mellow pup for a couple in a Midtown studio, a sturdier, bolder one for a Huntington family with kids and a backyard, and we'll be honest about which puppies breathe easiest, because that matters more in this breed than in any other.
Every puppy comes with a 10-year genetic health guarantee and a digital copy of their vet and vaccine records.
Message our Care360 Team at 10 weeks or 10 years. We stay in touch with our families for the life of the dog.
STATEWIDE DELIVERY
Every HonestPet Frenchie comes from a vetted breeder who raises puppies at home, never a pet shop. New York families choose free ground delivery to the door or a flight nanny who carries the puppy in the cabin, which matters for this breed: airlines won't fly a French Bulldog in cargo, so in-cabin is the only way a Frenchie flies.

ABOUT THE BREED
A French Bulldog is 20 to 28 pounds of bat ears, wrinkles, and comedy. They rarely bark, they don't need a yard, and a walk around the block satisfies them, which is why they outnumber every other breed in New York City. The trade-off is a flat face: Frenchies overheat easily, can't swim, and snore like a radiator, so they belong in an air-conditioned home with someone who takes the heat seriously.
Our French Bulldogs finish between 20 and 28 pounds. That clears the weight limit in most New York buildings, fits the soft carrier the MTA requires on the subway, and is still light enough to carry up a walk-up on a hot day, which with this breed you'll do.
French Bulldogs have short, smooth coats and do shed. Regular brushing helps manage loose hair, and their skin folds need gentle cleaning and drying. They are not a hypoallergenic breed.
Frenchies are playful and affectionate. Supervise interactions with children, teach gentle handling, and give your puppy a quiet place to rest. Keep play short and cool rather than encouraging rough play or long chases.
A Frenchie can be clever and independent. Use short sessions, rewards, and consistent potty routines to build good habits. Our lifetime training support helps you work through puppy manners without harsh methods.
A Frenchie's exercise needs are modest: two short walks and some indoor play. In July and August, walk before 9 and after 7, carry water, and watch for heavy panting, because a flat-faced dog can't cool itself the way other dogs can. Keep them off the edge of the pool and the pier at Rockaway, since French Bulldogs sink, and skip the dog run on the hottest days.
French Bulldogs enjoy being near their people. Build up time alone gradually, and arrange company and potty breaks when you will be away for long stretches. An air-conditioned home and a predictable routine help them stay comfortable.

Your puppy arrives as early as 8 weeks old with their digital records, a starter bag of food, and a blanket that smells like their littermates.
GETTING YOUR PUPPY HOME
Most New York families take free ground delivery straight to the front door, and for a French Bulldog it's the gentlest route. If you'd rather fly, a flight nanny carries your Frenchie in the cabin to one of seven airports in and around New York, never in cargo, which airlines don't allow for flat-faced breeds anyway. Either way, our team confirms the date, avoids the hottest part of the day, and sends updates until the puppy is home.
Ground delivery is our first choice for Frenchies. The vehicle is climate-controlled the whole way, the crate is shaded and ventilated, and the stops are short and cool, which is how a flat-faced puppy should travel. Most sleep through the trip and arrive at your door, not an airport curb.
Want to meet your puppy first? When the breeder's location and schedule line up, HonestPet can set up an in-person visit before your Frenchie heads to New York.
A flat $799 to any New York airport we serve. Your Frenchie rides in the cabin in a ventilated soft carrier at the nanny's feet, with the cabin's air conditioning, which is the only way a French Bulldog should ever fly. The nanny hands your puppy to you in person at arrivals.

HEALTH FIRST
French Bulldogs need particular attention to breathing, heat tolerance, and spine and joint health. Parent screening and available records vary by dog; ask to review the findings for the parents of the puppy you are considering. A DNA test or veterinary exam is not a guarantee against future breathing or mobility problems, and your vet can help plan ongoing care.
Flat-faced dogs can have narrowed nostrils and other airway problems. Ask what breathing assessments are available for the parents, and discuss your puppy's breathing with your vet. Snoring and poor exercise tolerance deserve attention rather than being dismissed as normal.
Ask about the parents' spine-health history and any available veterinary findings. French Bulldogs can develop spinal problems; keeping them lean and using ramps instead of repeated jumps can help with daily care, but does not eliminate the risk.
Review any available hip and knee assessments for the parents with our team. Your vet can check your puppy's gait and joints and advise on suitable exercise. Do not assume every parent has had the same examinations.
Ask which parent eye examinations or genetic results are available. Frenchies' prominent eyes need care; contact your vet about redness, squinting, or discharge, and protect the eyes during play.
Discuss skin-fold cleaning and any signs of irritation with your vet. Keep folds clean and dry, watch for itching or redness, and ask for guidance before using skin products. Short coats still need regular brushing.
Each puppy’s listing identifies the DNA testing status of both mom and dad. Ask to review available parent health and genetic records before reserving. Genetic results do not replace a clinical assessment of breathing, spine, or joint health.
Every Frenchie headed to New York gets a full exam from a licensed vet before departure, with extra attention to what matters in this breed: open nostrils, easy breathing at rest and after play, a straight spine, sound hips and knees, and clean skin folds. The vet issues a health certificate for travel, and the exam goes into the puppy's digital records.
Each puppy is current on core vaccines for their age and dewormed on a regular schedule since their first weeks. Your vet will finish the series, including the rabies shot New York requires by 4 months, and will talk you through Frenchie basics: keep them lean, since extra weight makes breathing harder, wipe the face folds a few times a week, and use a ramp rather than letting them leap off the couch. Every puppy is microchipped, and we'll help you register the chip in your name.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Prices vary by puppy. See each available puppy’s listing for the current price, and ask our team to explain the total before reserving. Every puppy comes with a vet exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, a microchip, digital records, lifetime training and support, and free ground delivery to your home.
Yes. Most families choose free ground delivery to their door. In-cabin flight nanny delivery is also available into JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo, depending on route and availability. Because airlines won't carry flat-faced breeds in cargo, every Frenchie we fly rides in the cabin with the nanny.
Yes. French Bulldogs have short, smooth coats that shed, and they are not hypoallergenic. Regular brushing helps manage loose hair. If allergies are a concern, discuss the individual puppy with our team before deciding.
Our French Bulldogs typically finish between 20 and 28 pounds. Review the individual puppy’s estimated adult size and parent information with our team, and check your building's pet policy before reserving.
Your puppy comes home with a starter bag of food, a blanket that smells like their littermates, a toy, microchip details, and a digital copy of their vet and vaccine records.
Pick an available puppy then send us an inquiry. After we talk, review the current reservation amount for your puppy before placing your deposit. The deposit goes toward the total price, and the balance is due before go-home day.
Parent testing varies by breeder and by dog. Review the available DNA testing status and health records for the puppy’s mom and dad with our team, including any breathing, spine, hip, and knee assessments. Every puppy receives a veterinary exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and a microchip before going home. Your vet can help plan ongoing French Bulldog care; screening does not guarantee freedom from future health problems.
Each breeder may have a different preferred puppy food, so we provide the specific brand and formula your puppy is currently eating to help make the transition to your home as smooth as possible. If you decide to switch foods, we recommend transitioning gradually to help avoid digestive upset.
Our puppies go home at 8 weeks old.

NEW YORK QUESTIONS
The questions New York Frenchie families ask most, from summer heat and subway carriers to licenses and airport pickups.
No. New York's pet store ban took effect December 15, 2024, and stores can now only host shelter and rescue adoptions, so a breeder-raised French Bulldog can't come from a shop, which for this breed is good news: Frenchies were the puppy most often shipped into stores from large kennels with no airway or spine screening at all. HonestPet is not a pet store. We connect New York families directly with vetted breeders who raise Frenchies at home, show you the parents and their screening, and deliver to your door.
It's the best one. Frenchies are quiet, small, and happy with a short walk, which is why they're the city's most popular breed, and a 25-pound dog clears most building limits. The one thing to plan around is heat: a flat-faced dog can't cool itself well, so summer walks happen early and late, the apartment needs air conditioning, and a stalled subway car in August is a real risk, so skip the train on the hottest days. They also snore, which your neighbors will never hear and you always will.
Yes. Every dog 4 months and older must be licensed in New York State, and you'll need a current rabies certificate to apply. In the five boroughs, licenses come from the NYC Department of Health; everywhere else, from your town or city clerk. Fees are lower for spayed and neutered dogs.
Once your Frenchie is reserved, HonestPet coordinates the trip from the breeder's home to yours. The puppy gets a final vet check with special attention to breathing, then rides to New York in a climate-controlled delivery vehicle or in the cabin with a flight nanny, never in cargo. We confirm the schedule with you, avoid the hottest hours, and send updates along the way.
Flights into New York typically run 1 to 3 hours, depending on the breeder's location and which airport you choose. Your Frenchie stays in a ventilated carrier at the nanny's feet in the air-conditioned cabin the entire time. Flat-faced breeds are never flown as cargo, so the cabin isn't a preference for this breed, it's the rule.
In some cases, yes. When the breeder's location and schedule allow, HonestPet can arrange a visit so you can meet your puppy, the parents, and hear how they breathe for yourself. Because our breeders are in different areas and we protect their privacy, visits are arranged individually rather than offered as drop-in appointments.
Call us with questions about any puppy, delivery to New York, or which French Bulldog would suit your home. We'll set up a video call so you can meet your puppy before you decide.
