Bathing your Frenchie once a week is generally not recommended. Over-bathing can strip their skin of natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Usually, a bath once a month is sufficient unless they get especially dirty. Use a gentle, dog-specific shampoo to maintain their skin and coat health.
