			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frenchbulldogpuppyblog.com/files/map_ny.gif"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1182" title="map_ny" src="http://frenchbulldogpuppyblog.com/files/map_ny.gif" alt="" width="300" height="180" /></a>While pet owners may spend a great deal of money on food, medicine and needed supplies for their furry friends every year, the American pet industry doesn&#8217;t generate an annual $12 billion on essentials alone. Dog lovers throughout the country make an art out of lavishing their pooches with expensive accessories and services, and no group is more richly spoiled than the cutest of the cute: puppies.</p>
<p>Indeed, puppies have become such a popular end receiver for expensive gifts that entire brands have been developed especially for young dogs, and a new type of doggie establishment –the <span style="color: #0000ff"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><a href="http://www.wetnoseguide.com/new-york-city/dog-boutiques/">puppy boutique</a></span></span> – has formed. Chock full of everything from designer clothes and jewelry to blinged-out doggie bowls, the puppy boutique evokes an image of tiny French lapdogs in the arms of nobility at Versailles: an era (for better or for worse) when comfort and luxury reigned supreme.</p>
<p><span id="more-1180"></span></p>
<p>The range of products carried by a puppy boutique can vary from the reasonable and classy to the truly outrageous. One puppy boutique, Olivetini Designs, carries a range of clothing that includes elaborate tutus and leopard-print corsets, while another, The Posh Puppy Boutique, carries a monogram bowl designed by Christian Aidigier, the designer of the now famous Ed Hardy clothing line. Halloween costumes, expensive vintage pet carriers and lavish pet beds that resemble antique furniture are only a few of the products owners can lavish on their new pups. Perhaps the most exorbitant merchandise available for purchase in a puppy boutique is doggie jewelry. Sparkling and opulent, such items can range from the crystal and enamel ID tags, sold by the Pampered Pup puppy boutique, to the diamond-encrusted Le Jeune Cherie dog collar by La Collection de Bijoux, which costs patrons a whopping $378,000.</p>
<p>Whether you adhere to it or not, the connection between luxury and displays of affection has existed since time immemorial. Applied by history’s aristocrats to favored children and starry-eyed lovers, such lavishing of gifts extends to dogs and their pups as well, and so long as it does, the puppy boutique and its merchandise shall have a place in the pet industry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The genetic makings of a dog do not only have the instincts, temperament, body structure and coat color pass from generation to generation. Also their stomachs are passed down. Each breed has its own need for <strong>specific nutrition</strong> that its digestive system can properly absorb and sustain the body as it should.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://frenchbulldogpuppyblog.com/files/frenchbulldog2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1086" src="http://frenchbulldogpuppyblog.com/files/frenchbulldog2-300x297.jpg" alt="French Bulldog" width="300" height="297" /></a></p>
<p>Just giving the dog what he “wants” may not be right for him. Two things to keep in mind are that the food should have <strong>nutrients that are similar to its native environment</strong> so that it can be broken down easily and that there should be a correct balance of carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins for the specific needs of the French Bulldog.</p>
<p>Recommended vitamin sources are as follows: Vitamin A Palmitate, Folic Acid, Biotin, and Vitamin B1 among others and Calcium Bone Meal and Copper Gluconate are best sources for Minerals. Feeding the right foods will in turn save the owner expenses that may be racked up due to more than frequent visits to the vet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s a rule of thumb that people should have three scheduled square meals a day, give or take a snack somewhere in between. French Bulldog Puppies can also be fed on a schedule in two ways: First is the <strong>free feeding</strong>. Dry food is placed in a container and left out for the whole day for the pup to eat whenever it feels like it. <strong>Scheduled feeding</strong> on the other hand is placing the food down and then taking it away whether or not it eats it and returning it after 30 minutes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://frenchbulldogpuppyblog.com/files/blue-french-bulldog.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1084 aligncenter" src="http://frenchbulldogpuppyblog.com/files/blue-french-bulldog.jpg" alt="Blue French bulldog" width="500" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>The latter method can assist the owner in monitoring when the pup gets hungry and <strong>controlling its food intake and dietary needs</strong>. The scheduled feeding method can be a <strong>prerequisite to housebreaking</strong> for it establishes discipline and routine for them to follow. The free feeding method can spoil the breed and make it a venue for too much weight gain.</p>
