French Bulldog Puppy Health Check: What Our Responsible Breeders Must Provide Before Travel

Choosing a French Bulldog puppy is exciting, but before the kisses and cuddles begin, there’s something every responsible breeder must provide: a complete French Bulldog puppy health check. Health comes first—and at The French Bulldog, we make it a requirement.

Whether you’re buying your first Frenchie or adding to your pack, this guide will help you understand what to expect before your puppy travels home.

🩺 What Is a French Bulldog Puppy Health Check?

A puppy health check is a full physical exam performed by a licensed, USDA-registered veterinarian. This is not a quick look—it’s a full head-to-stubby tail assessment that ensures your Frenchie is healthy, structurally sound, and safe for travel.

Every breeder on our site must submit proof that this health check has been completed prior to the puppy leaving their care.

✅ Required Exam: From Squish Face to Stubby Tail

A proper health check for your Frenchie pup includes:
    •    Eyes, ears, and nose 
    •    Mouth and teeth
    •    Heart and lungs
    •    Skin and coat
    •    Muscles and joints 
    •    Belly
    •    Tail

After the exam, a USDA-registered vet must issue an official health certificate. Puppies cannot travel without this certification.

💩 Negative Fecal Test Within 72 Hours

Before your French Bulldog puppy travels, they must also have a negative fecal test within 72 hours of departure.

This test screens for parasites that are common in puppies, such as:
    •    Giardia
    •    Coccidia
    •    Hookworms
    •    Roundworms
    •    Whipworms

Even if the puppy looks fine, stress from travel can activate dormant parasites. This test ensures you’re starting off with a clean, healthy companion.
