French Bulldog Health Guarantee
Our 1-Year French Bulldog Genetic Health Guarantee
At Must Be Frenchies, we understand that bringing home a French Bulldog puppy is a long-term commitment. That is why we provide a 1-Year Genetic Health Guarantee covering qualifying hereditary conditions and severe genetic disorders as outlined in our guarantee.
Our promise extends beyond the sale of a puppy. This guarantee reflects our commitment to responsible breeding and provides added peace of mind for families bringing home one of our French Bulldogs.
Our Commitment To French Bulldog Health
Our breeding dogs receive routine veterinary evaluations, reproductive care, and health screenings under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian.
Our approach encompasses every aspect of your puppy’s journey to its new home:
- Veterinary Care: Each puppy receives top-notch veterinary care, including vaccinations, health check-ups, and preventive treatments.
- Buyer Responsibility: We educate and inform our clients, ensuring they understand the responsibility of the buyer in maintaining their new French Bulldog’s health.
- Guarantee and Support: Our guarantee extends to a range of health conditions, providing a 100% refund in the uncommon event of a life threatening or crippling genetic defect identified by a licensed veterinarian during the first year after arrival.
- Customer Support: We are always available to assist with any inquiries regarding French Bulldog health issues, physical care, or the overall well-being of your new puppy.
We encourage all families to carefully review our Puppy Contract and Health Guarantee before placing a deposit or reserving a puppy.
Health Testing Performed on Our Breeding Dogs
The cornerstone of our French Bulldog Health Guarantee is the extensive genetic testing we conduct on our breeding dogs. Our French Bulldog puppies are backed by a lineage of healthy, genetically-tested parents, grandparents and great grandparents, ensuring a legacy of good health. Each adult has passed these tests, affirming their freedom from the following genetic abnormalities and diseases common to French Bulldogs.
- Canine Multifocal Retinopathy, cmr1
- Progressive Retinal Atrophy, crd4/cord1
- Hyperuricosuria and Hyperuricemia or Urolithiasis, HUU
- Juvenile Hereditary Cataracts, JHC
- Congenital Hypothyroidism with Goiter

Additional Veterinary Health Screenings
Genetic health testing through Embark helps us make informed breeding decisions and supports our commitment to producing healthy French Bulldog puppies.
In addition to genetic testing, our breeding dogs receive regular veterinary evaluations to help ensure overall health, soundness, and breeding suitability.
- Hip Evaluation
- Elbow Evaluation
- Patella Evaluation (yearly)
- Eye Examination (yearly)
- Heart Evaluation (yearly)
- Dental Exam (yearly)
What Our Health Guarantee Covers
Our 1-Year Genetic Health Guarantee covers qualifying hereditary conditions and severe genetic disorders that significantly affect a dog's quality of life or cannot be effectively treated. To qualify for coverage, the condition must be diagnosed by a licensed veterinarian and meet the requirements outlined in our Puppy Contract and Health Guarantee. We encourage all families to review the complete guarantee for full details regarding coverage, limitations, and buyer responsibilities.
What Our Health Guarantee Does Not Cover
While our health guarantee provides coverage for qualifying hereditary and genetic conditions, it does not cover injuries, accidents, preventable illnesses, parasites, environmental factors, neglect, improper nutrition, or conditions resulting from failure to provide appropriate veterinary care.
Because every puppy's long-term health depends on responsible ownership, buyers are expected to provide routine veterinary care, proper nutrition, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and a safe living environment. Please review our complete Puppy Contract and Health Guarantee for a full explanation of exclusions and buyer responsibilities.
