About French Bulldogs
French Bulldogs, affectionately known as “Frenchies,” are a small breed of dog that has skyrocketed in popularity worldwide, thanks to their unique charm and friendly nature. These compact and muscular dogs have distinct bat-like ears and a short, smooth coat that requires minimal grooming.
French Bulldogs are well-suited to urban living and make excellent companions for cozy homes or apartments. Their moderate energy levels mean they don’t require extensive exercise—short daily walks and some indoor playtime are enough to keep them content.
Known for their affectionate and sociable personalities, Frenchies thrive on human interaction and are great with children. However, they can be prone to stubbornness, so early dog training and consistent boundaries are important.
🐕 FUN FACT! Despite their name, French Bulldogs actually originated in England as miniature bulldogs bred to be companions for lace workers.

10/10 personalised service!
In January, we brought a puppy (Bella) into our lives – she is beautiful! Recently she had a few gastro issues and subsequent vet visits. Knose Pet Insurance has been awesome. They acknowledged the claims immediately, and then followed up with personal emails advising us of the progress of our claims. We even received a message asking after Bella and a follow up to say how pleased they were that Bella is now doing well. Top class personalized service and a thorough explanation of the claim refunds. 10/10 guys!
