3 Things To Know About Being a Frenchie Owner in Illinois

01
Cold Winters and Hot Summers
Illinois has freezing winters and humid summers, which can be tough for French Bulldogs. In winter, use sweaters and limit outdoor time. In summer, avoid the heat during midday walks and always keep your Frenchie hydrated and in the shade.
02
City and Suburban Life
Whether you live in Chicago or a quiet suburb, Frenchies adapt easily to apartment living. They love short walks, parks, and social outings, but remember that Chicago’s busy streets and hot pavement can stress their paws, so plan walks carefully.
03
Seasonal Allergies
Illinois has strong pollen seasons in both spring and fall, which can cause skin irritation or sneezing in Frenchies. Regular grooming, vet visits, and keeping indoor air clean will help manage these issues and keep your pup comfortable year-round.

Real Reviews from Illinois Frenchie Parents

Vittorio - Chicago, Illinois

To be honest everything was great, but mostly that you raised a wonderful boy, that’s what I liked the most definitely

Thomas - Gurnee, Illinois

The best part of this entire process was the constant communication from everyone in the Tom Kings family. Anytime we had a question we would reach out and Tom King would respond immediately. The videos that we were sent in order to hold us over until we could meet our new pup were absolutely amazing. We are so in love with her and so grateful for how this process was made so simple.

We’re proud to have built a Frenchie family that stretches across Illinois, and we’d love for you to be part of it next!
