My Favorite Items
I have received many requests on items that I recommend once you bring your puppy home. I have thought hard about this and decided to create a page to my favorite obsessions., my definite go-to items.
You may think that some of these items are a little over-the-top, I know my husband does lol, but every item on this list we use and I recommend on a daily basis. I will add to this list as I think and find other items around the house.
None of my "Favorite Items" are to supersede your veterinarian's recommendations or treatments. These are simply items I have around the house that I use after I have had my babies checked over by my vet.
Items & Links
Purina Pro Plan 30/20
Salmon & Rice
Dog Food for All Ages
We have tried many different brands of dog food and this is our favorite.
Grass Pad
I always recommend, to our new owners, to get a grass pad for pottying. I have it stated in my Sales Agreement that no puppy will go outside or touch the ground until fully vaccinated. We train with grass pads before they leave, so they are familiar with them.
Microban
I recommend using Microban to clean the grass pads twice a day. Spray them off with water, then spray the Microban all over them, and spray off with hot water. Hang to dry and use again. This will help with smell and bacteria.
Harness
I recommend a harness over a collar for leashes any day, hands down. They are already a brachycephalic breed and do not need anything to cause difficulty breathing.
Wrinkle Paste
At a minimum, we use this product, after we have wiped their wrinkles, with Bully Wipes, at least twice a week.
Female Diapers
Barkertime Diapers
I have tried many diapers, for my females in heat, and these are by far the absolute best! For French Bulldogs, I recommend the "no tail hole" escape proof diapers.
Male Diapers
Barkertime Diapers
While potty training, or if you have a stubborn male that likes to mark, these are comfortable & washable
.
Natural Nose & Paw Tallow
We have tried every single product out there; however none have worked for all of our dogs. We switched to this ALL NATURAL tallow and just WOW!! This is a MUST HAVE ON HAND!! We use this product at least once a day.

Kennel Sol
If you are looking for a strong cleaner to rid your area of any bacteria, I place this into a weed sprayer, mixed with water, and use as a deep clean.
Cooling Mat
Cooling mats are an absolute life-saver! They overheat easily and these mats use weight to cool. There is no need to put in the freezer. We have a few around the house and train them early to lay on them to cool off.
Bully Wrinkle Wipes
These wipes are a great cleaner to use before using the wrinkle paste. I wipe the wrinkles about every 2 days.
Indoor Fence Yard
We start off using a play yard here, before they go to their furever homes. They are comfortable in them and familiar with them.
Bessie & Barney Dog Bed
We have 6 of these all around the house. They come in many different colors and sizes. They are a little spendy, but they unzip and wash very well. Our oldest one is 6 years and still looks brand new.
Dog Stroller
Frenchies are not able to go for long walks, especially in the hot weather. This is an extreme stroller. We purchased it as it fits 3 of our grown ones as well as a whole litter for us. It is easy to use & I just love the design.
MiconaHex + Triz Shampoo
This shampoo does not need to be used often. But it does help for bug bites, itchies, and to help clear up and prevent any yeast infections. I use it about once every 6 weeks or so. Follow directions, on the bottle.
Silver Honey
Antimicrobial Hot Spot Spray
No one wants to admit that this can happen. This spray will help and works miracles with Hot Spots.
Nail Dremel
Dog Crate
Dog crates can be a great way to make sure your dog is safe while you're away..
Tilted Food Bowls
Cooling Bandana
Can be great to have on hand if you plan to be outdoors for an extended amount of time.
Dog Booster Carseat
This carseat is our absolute FAVORITE! It is a booster, so they are able to see out of the windows.
Rescue
Light up dog balls
I am adding this fun link. Our adults and our puppies always go crazy for these balls. Please use with supervision.
Chlorohexidine Wipes
I use these wipes in deep wrinkes and in tail pockets once a week. They help to prevent a yeast infection. I promise that you will be grateful to avoid having to deal with this infection.
Pro-Pectalin Tabs
Many different things can cause an upset belly for your baby. Once you have made sure, with your vet, that there is no serious condition, this product can be given to your baby to help with loose stools & upset belly.
Under The Weather
This is another product to make sure there is no other serious condition for your baby. If they are clinically good (per vet), I give this supplement when they are not feeling well, or having a day or two where they are not eating well.
