The Frenchie Gut Guide
Gas, itchy paws, red ears. Is it really “just how Frenchies are”?
The three problems Frenchie parents ask us about most often turn out to be the same three that show up in vet records. Here is what we think is going on, and what real owners told us changed.

You already know something is off.
The gas that clears the room. The paw licking at 2 AM. The ears that look red again a week after the last vet visit. The soft stools you have stopped mentioning because everyone gives you the same shrug:
We have heard it too. Brock is 11 now and still thinks he is a puppy. Our biggest challenge with him is getting him to use his stairs instead of jumping right past them. We know these dogs, and we do not buy that “that’s just how they are” is the end of the conversation.
Skin, gut and ears: the same three show up again and again
A 2018 study looked at 2,228 French Bulldogs under everyday vet care in the UK. The three most common groups of problems were:
Source: O’Neill et al., “Demography and disorders of the French Bulldog population under primary veterinary care in the UK in 2013,” Canine Genetics and Epidemiology, 2018.
Most owners treat those as three separate problems. Ear drops for the ears. A new shampoo for the skin. A new food for the gas. We think it makes more sense to look at the whole dog, starting with the gut. Researchers who study the dog gut put it this way:
“The composition of the gut microbiota also has significant effects on immune function.”

That is why we built Frenchies vs Mushrooms as one daily scoop that supports digestion and the immune system together, instead of one more product that chases one symptom.
Why the things you tried did not stick
Each one chased one symptom
A cream, a chew, a topper. Each one is aimed at one thing, so the rest of the list keeps coming back.
It got stopped too early
Supplements build with consistency. Give it a few weeks of daily scoops. It is a routine, not a light switch.
Your Frenchie would not touch it
Frenchies are food critics. Ours is a powder you sprinkle on the food they already eat. Stir it into a spoonful of wet food or plain pumpkin for the true critics.

What real Frenchie parents told us
Every dog is different. These are customers’ own words from their reviews, not a promise.
Around two weeks after I started using this supplement, my dogs itching and redness were greatly reduced.Donna, Chewy review
He used to keep us up at night licking his paws… we are 3.5 weeks free if paw licking at night.Gina A., about her Frenchie Benny, Amazon review
One tub is 60 scoops, about two months for one Frenchie. That is also exactly how long our guarantee lasts, so you get to finish the jar before you decide.
My girls have actually been taking this for almost a year. Their fur is so shiny, they don’t itch as bad and no more stinky farts!!!!Jessica, Chewy review
“Cytopoint is no longer needed”
Five Frenchie parents told us their dogs needed fewer allergy shots after starting Frenchies vs Mushrooms. Here are their reviews, unedited.

The crowd goes wild
Their stomachs are so much more settled, and the biggest bonus? It has almost completely taken their gas away. Sure, they still toot here and there (they’re Frenchies, after all), but the gassiness has gone down about 99% since starting this supplement.Valerie · two Frenchies · Chewy
My frenchie Tank is doing absolutely amazing on this! He is less itchy (which means less paw licking) and his bowel movements are not soft anymore.Katrena · Tank’s mom · Amazon
Deja is licking her paws less, her gas is no longer a fumigator that clears the room, and her coat is so shiny.Kimberlee · Deja’s mom · Chewy
Since starting it, my dog has been licking his paws much less, his coat is noticeably shinier, and his very sensitive stomach has improved.Angela · Roscoe’s mom · Chewy
My dog has always had a sensitive stomach and a lot of gas, but after using this product, I noticed a big improvement. His digestion seems smoother, he’s more comfortable, and the gas has definitely gone down.Laurie · Chewy
He now has tons of energy and loves his walks more than ever.Tanya S. · Rocky’s mom · Chewy
Is this for your Frenchie?
- Gas that clears the room is a normal part of your evening
- Paw licking keeps you (or them) up at night
- The stools are soft more often than you would like
- You have bought shampoos, chews and toppers that each helped one thing, for a while
- You would rather build a simple daily routine than wait for the next flare up
- Your Frenchie is 8 weeks or older
If you checked two or more, it is worth trying one tub.
