Can French Bulldogs Swim

Updated: Nov 28, 2021

Thanks to their adorable smushed faces, thick neck structures, and short bodies, Frenchies can't swim. They need to give a lot of forces just to keep their heads above the water. Even when they try to spontaneously swim like all other dogs, they tend to sink like rocks.

I highly advise all French bulldog owners to never go swimming with their pooches without taking a good swimming jacket.

Dog life jackets will certainly prevent your dog from drowning, however, even when he's wearing it, you should never leave him unattended. It's important to always observe your furry friend's behavior to make sure if he's doing well.

French bulldog owners need to know that teaching their Frenchies how to swim is not something to be afraid of. It's should become their customary habit and a great way to cool off. Since they are prone to overheating. French bulldogs would be very grateful to spend time plenty of their time in the water during summer months. Even buying a kiddie pool can work a lot for them!
