Female Frenchies enter their first heat cycle when they are approximately 6-9 months old. Your Frenchie will be in heat, which means she can get pregnant, so you need a plan for when that will happen. Your job as an owner will depend on how much effort you are willing to put into caring for your pet and preventing unwanted litters.
Females come into heat every 5-6 months. A French Bulldog’s cycle can be irregular in the first year and after that you should notice if her reproductive patterns settle down.
It’s a process known as proestrus that lasts 4 to 20 days and is characterized by vaginal discharge.
Since you definitely don’t want to find a mess all around your home, it’s important to buy dog diapers. In addition to disposable diapers, you can also try washing diapers. Since French Bulldogs do not have tails, it would be best to purchase dog diapers without a tail opening.
