Parents & puppiesAirway and Breathing
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.
Parents & puppiesSpine and Back Health
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.
Parents & puppiesHips and Knees
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.
Parents & puppiesEye Health
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.
PuppiesSkin Folds and Care
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.
ParentsParent Health Records
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.
PuppiesVet Exam
Before departure for Oklahoma, a licensed vet examines every Frenchie with the breed's weak points front and center: nostril openings, breathing at rest and after play, spine alignment, hips and knees, and the skin folds. The vet issues the certificate of veterinary inspection Oklahoma requires for dogs entering the state, and the exam notes, breathing included, go into the puppy's digital records for your OKC, Tulsa, or Norman vet.
PuppiesShots, Deworming, Microchip
The puppy leaves with every age-appropriate core vaccine on record and a deworming history that started in week two. Your Oklahoma vet finishes the series, including the rabies shot state law requires by 4 months, and should start heartworm prevention at the first visit, since Oklahoma's mosquito season runs from April into October. Ask about keeping the puppy lean, because extra weight narrows a Frenchie's airway, and about a cooling vest for the days when even an early walk is hot. The chip is in before the trip, and we help get it registered to you.
