Loving & Living With Flat-Faced Dogs
Many of you know that in a past life I bred and showed French Bulldogs for decades. During that time I also worked for two French Bulldog magazines which gave me the unique opportunity to meet and learn from many of the world's experts in dogs. In many cases I was able to interview them and I treasure those experiences.
In 2000 Howell Books, now Wiley, contracted me to write the French Bulldog book for their Happy, Healthy Dogs series. It was an honor. I was especially proud to be able to help Frenchie owners have a breed resource, as the internet was still getting started as the go-to for everything.
Now, 20 years later, French Bulldogs and many other flat-faced dogs have exploded in popularity. While the internet has infinitely more information now, it can still be hard to separate the fact from fiction.
Brachycephalic dogs are usually fun-loving, hoots to live with. But their flat-faces and bully bodies can lead to health problems. Knowing what to expect before you bring that wiggling bundle of love home can be invaluable.
Many people have fallen in love with the cute Frenchie they saw in a celebrity's arms or saw a Bulldog skateboarding on YouTube and had to have one. This book's purpose is to give you more information about the flat-faced dog breeds to help you make an informed decision prior to bringing one into your life. It is also for those who already have a flat-faced best buddy and want to know some of the secrets to keeping them safe and healthy.
While there are potential inherent issues found in many flat-faced, especially bullies dogs, that does not mean they ALL are health or genetic disasters. I have to call BS on some of the histrionic I've read about these loving dogs. But, forewarned is forearmed and if you know what to look for and how to prevent mishaps from occurring, your dog can have a happier and healthier life.
In this book, I share lessons learned from decades of being immersed in these breeds and hours spent picking the brains of many kind mentors. It is with great love for these breeds and those who have devoted their lives to them that I wrote this book and I sincerely hope you will benefit.

Works Fast!
I applied it 1-2 times a day for just a few days and my dog's nose it nearly all better. He does lick it off as soon as I put it on him so now I put it on and then give him wet food right away and it stays on. Excellent product!

The ease of this product is amazing. My dogs feet, and nose are protected from the harsh New England weather. Thanks for creating The Blissful Dog.

Great product
This has worked miracles on my Walker’s nose. I was using vitamin E before and it didn’t work near as well as this. I would highly recommend this product.

Happy Nose
Our dog had issues with their nose cracking to where part of their nose would peel off. The nose butter has made their nose so much better and feeling better too.

Relief!
My dogs nose has been excessively cracked, dry, and in some spots peeling from whatever is happening. We had a bleeding issue that resulted in a emergency vet visit. Luckily, she had a cut in her nose where all the swelling was occurring. We have used the nose balm for three weeks and what an improvement. He nose is still dry but with the nose balm, the other issues have subsided. I can even apply the balm without incident any longer. I am thankful for this product. It has been a wonderful relief for our Aussie!

Great Stuff ![User picture]()
The Vet told me Teddy had colly nose, thought I would try the Blissful Dog nose butter. After a few applications on his nose and snout & some sores on his ears they looked good, now I only apply the nose butter every couple of days. During this hot weather I noticed him nipping at himself which caused quite a few scabs and welts all over his body, I thought why not try the nose butter, I applied the nose butter to the scabs & sores, it helped decrease the itching and scabs, they are almost all gone by now.

Works great
The nose butter really does work.

Miracle Remedy
My Saint Bernard's nose has been dry & cracked for years. Nose looked discolored from the dryness. ONE use and his nose was perfectly shiny black again! I was so shocked! He started getting a little dry (but no discoloration) 2 weeks later, so used one more time. I love the tube butter. It's easy to apply like a big chapstick for his nose. The paw butter tin is working great on the pads of his feet. Those were worse and taking a little longer since I haven't been consistent. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I only wish I found this product sooner. I will never be without it again.
