The Velvet Frenchie First-Year Cost Calculator is a simple, practical tool that helps you plan for the real cost of your first year with a French Bulldog puppy. The price of the puppy is only the beginning, and this calculator shows the everyday and one-off costs that come with welcoming a Frenchie into your home, so there are no surprises later.

The calculator lists the costs most new owners face. One-time costs include supplies like a crate, bed and harness, the first vet visit and vaccines, extra vet visits, microchipping, training classes, and spaying or neutering. Monthly costsinclude food, treats, pet insurance, flea, tick and heartworm prevention, grooming, and cleaning supplies. Tick what applies to you and change any amount to match your own prices and plans.

Press Calculate and you get your estimated first-year total, the average monthly cost, and a clear split between one-time and monthly costs. A “where the money goes” chart shows your biggest expenses at a glance. If you add the puppy’s price, you’ll also see the full cost of your first year including your new family member.

We’ve also included a reminder to build an emergency cushion. French Bulldogs are a flat-faced breed that can need extra vet care, and pet insurance and a small savings fund can make unexpected bills far easier to handle.
