<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThere are a few factors that could impair the growth of French bulldogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s break down each of these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Genetics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Genetics always plays a role in controlling the physical traits of all living organisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Frenchies aren\u2019t an exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your French bulldog\u2019s growth could be slightly faster or slower than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the final growth size could slightly vary as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s nothing you could do to change genetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diseases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Many health issues could negatively affect the growth of your puppy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should always be on the lookout for those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Animals can\u2019t complain of pain as we do, so it\u2019s important to have your puppy checked occasionally even if he doesn\u2019t show any symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If he does show symptoms or stops eating, that\u2019s more the reason for a vet\u2019s visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malnutrition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Your little Frenchie needs food to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If he doesn\u2019t get enough food, he won\u2019t be healthy as he grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, fewer nutrients in the body reduce its immunity and make it more susceptible to diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Always make sure that your pup gets his fair share of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Worms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Having worms<\/a> is quite confusing to dog owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThey put enough food for the dog, the dog eats it all, but he remains weary and weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When dogs are infected by worms, they may show confusing symptoms like diarrhea and vomiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should occasionally check your dog for worms even if you don\u2019t see any symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These worms could be transmitted to humans<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe can\u2019t stress enough how important it is to make sure that your dog has none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
