Allergy symptoms are the reaction of your French Bulldogs immune system due to exposure to an allergen or other foreign material.
The extent of the allergic reaction can range from mild irritation to extreme hives, facial swelling, and occasionally anaphylactic shock.
Extreme reactions such as anaphylactic shock – which would need immediate veterinary treatment – are very uncommon and may be triggered by factors such as vaccinations, medications, food, or bee sting.
There are many allergies, but skin allergy symptoms and food allergies are the most prevalent in French Bulldogs.
Here are our top picks to help in each instance.
Skin Allergies On Your French Bulldog
Your Frenchie can suffer from several various skin disorders and allergies that typically need care or treatment. Here are the most common skin problems found in Frenchies that you can treat from home:
Fleas and Mites
Flea allergy dermatitis is the most common skin disease in French Bulldogs and results from an allergic or over-sensitivity response to flea secretion.
Contrary to common opinion, dogs do not need a massive flea load to experience a response, and they will develop symptoms if they have merely 1-2 fleas on their skin.
Here are our topic picks for home treatment.

Dermatitis French Bulldog Skin Issues
Skin allergies may also be handled with better hygiene. Bath your French Bulldog with natural, sulfate-free, hypoallergenic shampoo to help control and alleviate persistent itchiness.
Look for shampoos with additional anti-inflammatory drugs such as hydrocortisone and aloe vera, as these additives also settle red, sore, itchy skin.

Food Skin Allergies On Your French Bulldog
Your French Bulldog is susceptible to food allergies, and allergic reactions frequently occur on the skin, including dermatitis, scabbing lesions, hives, and pruritus.
Usually, the primary cause of food allergies is an allergy to one or more animal proteins.
Sometimes, beef and poultry are the main culprits, although certain dogs may react to many other allergens like corn, milk, and eggs.
