Here you will find our recommendations for dog clothes, collars and harnesses that are suitable for a French bulldog.
The typical weight of a French Bulldog is between 8-14 kg, and our size recommendations are based on this. However, always remember to check the measurements on individual products and your dog's specific size to ensure the perfect fit.
At Hunni you can always return or exchange for a different size – regardless of whether you purchased the product in the store or via our webshop. We want both you and your dog to get the right equipment!
Rain jacket, winter jacket and sweater for your French bulldog
One of the biggest challenges with clothing for French bulldogs is finding a model that can accommodate the wide chest, but at the same time not be too long on the back.
Rain jackets, winter jackets and sweaters from Cloud7 are designed specifically with this in mind. They have a tailored fit that provides ample space for the chest while being long enough to fit a French bulldog's compact body.
The jackets are available in several sizes, so you can find the model that best suits your dog's body type. Remember to check the measurements to ensure the perfect fit.
We have good experience that the rain and winter jackets from Paikka fit French bulldogs very well. They are designed with a fit that provides plenty of room for the broad chest , while the length is adapted to the breed's compact body.
The typical size for a French Bulldog in Paikka jackets is size 35 , but we always recommend checking the measurements of your dog to ensure the best possible fit.
Dog harnesses for French bulldogs
One of the biggest challenges with harnesses for French bulldogs is finding a model that provides enough space for the broad head and strong chest, without the harness being too long or too loose on the rest of the body.
The leather harnesses from Molly & Stitch often fit French bulldogs really well. They are made of soft, greased leather, which makes them both comfortable and durable. At the same time, they are easy to put on and take off, which is an advantage for a breed with a wide head shape.
How to choose the right size:
- Small bitches often fit a size M.
- Larger bitches and males are typically between sizes M/L and L.
We always recommend measuring your dog and checking the size guide to ensure the best possible fit.
Another model that often fits French bulldogs very well is step-in harnesses . These harnesses are easy to put on and take off, while also providing good support for the dog's broad chest.
The Step-in harness from Carhartt is both practical and functional. It has an anti-pull feature at the front, which can be a great advantage if your dog tends to pull on walks. Most French bulldogs fit a size S, as the harness is designed with a wide fit around the chest. Only very large French bulldogs with an extra wide chest will need a size M.
Another functional and stylish step-in harness is from The Painter's Wife . Small females typically fit a size M, while larger male dogs will sometimes need to go up to a size L.
To ensure the best fit, we always recommend measuring your dog and checking the size guide for the specific harness.
Another very popular harness for French bulldogs is the classic Curli harness . Many customers choose this harness because the fit is really good for the breed's broad chest and compact body.
Females typically use size L, while males often need to go up to size XL. However, some large French bulldogs may be too big for size XL, and unfortunately the harness is not made in larger sizes.
To find the best possible fit, we always recommend measuring your dog and checking the size guide before choosing a size.
If you want a Y-harness for your French Bulldog, it is important that the harness has an adjustable neck piece and does not go too far down the body.
We recommend the Hunter Y-harness and the Dog Copenhagen Y-harness as both models can be adjusted to fit the wide chest and large head of a French bulldog. The Dog Copenhagen harness also has a practical feature where it can be opened at the front so it does not have to be pulled over the head.
To find the best fit, we always recommend checking your dog's measurements against the size guide.
Dog collars for French bulldogs
One of the challenges with collars for French bulldogs is that their necks are wide but short, meaning that many collars can feel too heavy and wide for the breed.
We recommend leather collars from Molly & Stitch , as they are made of soft, greased leather, which makes them comfortable to wear. Small French bulldogs usually fit a size M, while slightly larger ones often use a size L.
The Molly & Stitch collar is no wider than 2 cm, which can be an advantage for French bulldogs who don't have a particularly long neck. It provides a good balance of comfort and support without appearing too large.
Another collar that fits French bulldogs really well is the beaded collars from Zinj . These beautiful and handmade collars are a little larger in size, which means that the small French bulldog bitches typically fit a size S, while the males often need to go up to a size M.
The bead collars are slightly wider, which has the advantage that the pressure is better distributed around the neck and thus does not strain a single cervical vertebra. However, if your dog pulls a lot, we recommend that you choose either a wide collar or a harness, as French bulldogs are strong and there can be a lot of strain on the neck during walks.
