Have you heard of IVDD? As a Frenchie owner, you need to be very aware. Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) is the thinning and potential loss of cushioning between spinal vertebrae—an extremely common disease that affects many dogs—particularly Frenchies, due to their compact size, fragile bodies and extremely playful nature.
Danger to Frenchies

Others unfortunately, may need surgery, which can cost anywhere from $1500 to $5000 (or more!) depending on the severity.
IVDD at it's worst, may leave dog parents with a difficult decision to part ways with their pups—possibly euthanasia—as the pain and suffering may be too much for their Frenchie to handle.
