A daily chew made only for French Bulldogs.
This breed ends up at the vet more than almost any other, and mostly for the same four things: ears, skin, gut and back. Every amount in this chew is set for a 20 to 28 lb Frenchie, not for dogs from 10 to 100 lb.
One chew a day, with a meal.
“The paw licking stopped being a nightly thing. That is the whole review.”

Researchers pulled a full year of UK veterinary records for 2,228 French Bulldogs. Almost 72% of them had at least one health problem written down. Not old dogs. Not sick dogs. All of them.
Of every 10 French Bulldogs, 7 had something recorded in a single year.
The four most common were ear infections, at 14 in every 100, then diarrhoea, then conjunctivitis, then the skin in his folds. Those four are the everyday reality of the breed, and none of them is rare.
A later study compared them against every other dog in the database. French Bulldogs had higher odds on 20 of the 43 common problems measured. Narrow nostrils, 42 times. Airway obstruction, 31 times. The skin in his folds, 11 times.
Life expectancy for the breed sits at about 9.8 years, against roughly 12.5 for UK dogs overall. That is somewhere near three years, and it is the reason his owners are the way they are.
Most vets will not raise any of this at a routine check-up, because there is nothing to treat in a dog who is not showing anything yet.
Ears, skin and gut are fed every single day. That is why owners start before anything has gone wrong.

His nostrils, the shape of his palate and the vertebrae down his back were all decided before you got him. Nothing on a shelf changes any of them, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
What food actually reaches is his skin, his gut and his weight. Three of the four things this breed goes to the vet for are fed daily.
The nutrient with the best evidence behind it for itching in dogs is omega-3 EPA and DHA. The trials that measured a real drop in itching used 40 to 100 mg per kilo of bodyweight per day, with the change showing up at around six weeks. For a 24 lb Frenchie that is roughly 440 to 1,100 mg a day. That is the range we build into.
One chew contains 500 mg of omega-3 EPA/DHA.
The four things this breed is most often seen for, and the ingredient that covers each one.
Ear infections are the single most recorded problem in the breed, at 14 in every 100 dogs in one year.
500 mg omega-3 EPA/DHA and 50 mg beta-glucans, which support a normal inflammatory and immune response.
Skin fold dermatitis is around 11 times more common in this breed than in other dogs.
Omega-3 at the dose used in the itch trials, plus 15 mg zinc and 500 mcg biotin for the skin barrier.
Diarrhoea is the second most recorded problem in the breed.
2 billion CFU of probiotics, which support normal digestion and stool quality.
This breed is built with a spine that needs looking after for its whole life.
300 mg green-lipped mussel, which supports joints and mobility.
In the airway research, body condition is described as the most significant thing you can actually change about how well he breathes. Fat is laid down in the tissues around the airway itself.
One chew is 5 calories, and 100 mg of L-carnitine supports lean body composition.
A dermatology work-up for a dog who will not stop itching commonly runs into the hundreds, and airway surgery runs into the thousands. This is $1.02 a day. Doing nothing is the expensive option.
All four areas are covered by the same one chew a day.
Every amount is printed on the label. Set for a 20 to 28 lb French Bulldog.
This is the main ingredient and the one with the most research behind it for itchy skin in dogs. The trials that measured a real drop in itching worked from 40 to 100 mg per kilo of bodyweight per day, which is about 440 to 1,100 mg for a 24 lb Frenchie, with the change showing up at around six weeks.
Every amount was set for a 20 to 28 lb dog first, then checked against the amounts used in veterinary research. Nothing is hidden inside a blend.

The licking has quietened right down
Bruno chewed his front paws every evening and I had genuinely stopped noticing it, that is how normal it had become. Around week six I realised he had not done it in days. I am not claiming a miracle, I am saying the evenings are quieter.
The no chicken thing is why I bought it
Olive reacts to chicken and it is in absolutely everything, including every other chew I picked up. Reading a label that just says salmon was the whole reason I tried this. Her stomach agreed within a fortnight.
Started early on purpose
Cooper is two and completely fine. I read what this breed is statistically in for and decided I would rather start now than start after. I also like that they say outright it cannot fix his breathing. That is why I trusted the rest of it.
Her ears were the problem
We were at the vet three times in a year for Nala's ears and I was told each time it was just the breed. We still check them weekly, but we have not been back since spring. I asked our vet about the ingredients first and she had no concerns.
He eats it, which was not a given
Bear spits out anything that looks like a tablet and he has defeated three brands. This one he takes off my hand. Five calories matters to me too, he is meant to be losing a bit.
Wish I had found it sooner
Four stars only because I spent two years buying separate fish oil, a probiotic and a joint powder and guessing the amounts for a dog her size. The subscription means I stop thinking about it, which is worth more than I expected.

Why only one breed
A chew sold for a 10 lb dog and a 100 lb dog has to be safe at the bottom of that range, which leaves it too weak at the top. It is built for neither. That is why the omega-3 in most skin chews sits nowhere near the amount the itch trials actually used.
So we picked one breed. Every amount is set for a 20 to 28 lb French Bulldog, the ingredients follow what this breed actually gets seen for, and chicken is left out because this is the breed most likely to react to it.
That decision costs us most of the dog market. It is the reason this works properly for yours.
Yes, you can. Here is exactly what you run into if you do, and why we built this instead.
Omega-3 EPA/DHA has more research behind it for itchy skin than anything else, and the trials that measured a real change worked from 40 to 100 mg per kilo a day. A generic all-dog skin chew commonly gives under 100 mg in total, because the same chew has to be safe for a 10 lb dog. This one gives 500 mg.
Chicken and beef are the two proteins dogs most often react to, and French Bulldogs are among the breeds most likely to react at all. Buying a chicken-flavoured skin supplement for an itchy Frenchie is a common and entirely understandable mistake. Read the back of the one in your cupboard.
Which form of omega-3. How much zinc is safe at his weight. Whether the probiotic count on the tub survives the shelf. What to leave out. Most owners end up with five or six tubs, splitting doses meant for people, and no way to check whether the amounts make sense together.
You are not really paying for the ingredients. You are paying for the eight decisions behind them, made for one breed, with every amount printed on the label.
The honest part
His airway and his back are structural. They were decided before you got him and nothing on a shelf changes them.
These are nutrients that support normal function. They are not a treatment for any condition.
A resting French Bulldog has taken roughly 0 breaths in the time you have spent on this page. Every one of them goes through an airway you cannot change, which is exactly why the things you can change are worth doing properly.
We would rather tell you the limits than oversell it.

Skin and gut are built over weeks. That makes daily nutrition most useful during the years when your dog still seems completely well, which is the opposite of how most owners end up buying it.
Most owners tell us the same two things: the evening paw licking gets quieter, and they feel better knowing they are doing something practical for a breed with a known list of problems.
French Bulldogs live about 9 to 10 years. The part you can act on is what goes in the bowl, and it is available today.

In a full year of UK veterinary records, almost 72% of French Bulldogs had a health problem written down. In this breed, fine today is normal and it is not much of a guarantee about next year. Skin, gut and weight are all built daily rather than fixed later, which is why most owners here start early. Check with your vet first if your dog is under a year old or on medication.
Not directly, and we will not claim it does. His nostrils, palate and windpipe are structural. What the airway research does say clearly is that body condition is the most significant thing you can actually change about how well a flat-faced dog breathes, because fat is laid down in the tissues around the airway. That is why this chew is 5 calories and carries L-carnitine, and why we would rather talk about his weight than sell you a breathing claim.
Yes. 20 to 28 lb is the breed standard and it is what we formulated around, but plenty of real Frenchies sit above it. These amounts are nutritional rather than pharmaceutical and the margin is comfortable across the range the breed actually comes in. If your dog is well over 30 lb, mention it to your vet and they will tell you whether to adjust.
No supplement is proven to cure allergic skin disease and we do not claim it. What we can show you is the dose. Omega-3 EPA/DHA has the best evidence of anything for canine itching, the trials that measured a real drop used 40 to 100 mg per kilo per day, and that is roughly 440 to 1,100 mg for a 24 lb Frenchie. We give 500 mg. A generic all-dog chew commonly gives under 100. We are saying that if you give your dog omega-3 at all, the amount should be high enough to matter.
Chicken and beef are the two proteins dogs most often react to, and this is a breed with an unusually high rate of skin and gut problems. Putting chicken in a chew aimed at itchy Frenchies would undo the point of it. The only animal protein in here is salmon, which is also where the omega-3 comes from.
Palatability is the number-one complaint about every other supplement, so we made it the priority. It is a soft chew, not a hard pill. If your dog will not take it, the 90-day promise has you covered, keep the tub and get your money back.
In: Omega-3 EPA/DHA from salmon oil, green-lipped mussel, L-carnitine, quercetin, beta-glucans, chelated zinc, biotin, and a probiotic blend of Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecium. Out: chicken, beef, grain, artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. Made in the USA in a cGMP facility, third-party tested.
The itch trials measured their change at around six weeks, and coat usually follows after that. Stool quality tends to move sooner. The real value is in daily consistency, so give it a full 90 days, which is why the guarantee runs that long.
Yes. The amounts, the format and the whole ingredient list were built around a 20 to 28 lb French Bulldog and the problems this breed is actually recorded for. We make one other product, for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and it is a different formula for a different set of problems. Building for one breed at a time is the entire reason we exist.

We started ValioMed because one breed at a time is the only way a supplement can be honest about amounts. The first was for Cavaliers and their hearts. French Bulldogs were the obvious second, because no breed gets more advice and less actual formulation aimed at it. The list of what they are seen for is public, it is specific, and almost none of it is what a general dog multivitamin is built around.
We cannot promise you more years with your dog, and we will not pretend to. What we can promise is that the ingredients and the amounts are exactly what the label says, and that nothing is in here because it looked good on a label.
