Frequently questions about bichon frise puppies
How to buy a bichon Frise puppy?
It is preferable to adopt a bichon frise from a shelter, but if you cannot find one, we suggest looking for a reliable home where you can see the puppies with their parents.
The recommended age to get one is from 4 months old because breastfeeding is vital for their good intestinal bacteria, and at that age, they are more psychologically prepared for detachment from their mother.
Where should my Bichon Frise sleep?
Every bichon frise needs a safe space to develop physical and emotional independence. The perfect location must be a quiet place without loud noises, and it should have a bed, toys, and bowls for their food.
These dogs can’t live outdoors because it would be impossible to keep them clean and groomed, and another important reason is that this breed is a companion dog, so it shouldn’t be alone for long periods.
What can my Bichon Frise eat?
Their diet should be 80% carnivore and 20% complements, such as fresh vegetables and fruits. In all cases, we do not recommend dry and processed food.
A puppy from three to six months should eat about four times a day, and from six months should eat twice a day. The amount depends on each dog according to its weight and age. Their diet starts with homemade porridges of chicken meat with skin and a little rice, and in the following months, you can add a little carrot, spinach, sweet potato, and egg. From eight months old, the bichon frise can start eating BARF (biologically appropriate raw food) that provides the necessary nutrients for each canine stage.
What is the lifespan of a Bichon Frise?
They can live between 12-15 years old, and it will depend on a good diet and exercise. There are some cases in which the bichon frise has lived up to 19 years.
Diet and exercise are things that owners can control, so we recommend emphasizing a healthy diet such as BARF (biologically appropriate raw food) or homemade food because this will help to prevent chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, and so on.
How often can I bathe my Bichon Frise?
The bichon frise’s coat is white, which makes dirt more visible, so it is advisable to clean their paws and face daily with wet wipes. One important thing to do is to brush them every two or three days to prevent knots, and for the bath, you can do it biweekly with a natural shampoo.
Is male or female Bichon Frise better?
None is better than the other since every bichon frise has a unique character. The physical difference between them is that females have their menstruation twice a year, so they must use special diapers. In the case of males, they could mark territory inside the house, but you can correct any bad habit with patience and discipline.
