"There has also been an increase in people buying cute-looking flat-faced dogs such as French bulldogs, which are often beset by health challenges. Data consistently shows Frenchie dogs and pups are the most advertised breed for sale. Sadly, it is often the RSPCA that has to step in when the inevitable costs and vet bills for these animals mount up, and the novelty wears off. Abandonment incidents reported to the RSPCA in 2022 were up by 24% on the previous year...Increased legislation has a key role to play in protecting vulnerable animals from exploitation."
