Happy French Bulldog is now part of PetDT

Since 2019, Happy French Bulldog has helped Frenchie owners with practical advice on health, training, food and everyday care. It has now joined PetDT, and its French Bulldog guides live here.

Melissa W., who wrote nearly every Happy French Bulldog article, now writes for PetDT. As each guide moved across, it was reviewed, updated and checked against current veterinary sources.

What this means for you

• Your old links still work. Any Happy French Bulldog link or bookmark takes you to the same guide on PetDT.
• It’s the same writer, and more current. Every guide was updated as it moved. Where the old advice had gone out of date, it was corrected rather than copied across.
• There’s more to explore. PetDT covers dogs, cats, reptiles and small pets with the same practical approach.
