🏆 Welcome to C+G Approved
Welcome to C+G Approved—our growing collection of products, tools, services, and companies we've personally tested, trusted, and chosen to stand behind.
Whether you're welcoming home your first Baby Bull, managing a breeding program, or simply looking for products that have proven themselves in the real world, this page was built to make life a little easier.
Everything featured here has earned its place through experience—not sponsorship.
With decades of combined experience raising Bulldogs, judging dogs, and caring for a large, hands-on program, we've learned what lasts, what works, and what we'd confidently recommend to our own family and puppy buyers.
You'll find trusted recommendations for nutrition, health, DNA testing, microchips, supplements, grooming, insurance, breeder tools, and everyday essentials. This page will continue to grow as our program grows, with new products, reviews, and recommendations added regularly. Like the rest of our website, C+G Approved is always evolving.
Current trusted partners include:

🧬 Fi Nano Microchips

Just like us, dogs feel the effects of time. They get stiff. They slow down. Their joints work a little harder every year. Whether your Bulldog is built like a linebacker or carries a cleaner, more athletic frame, healthy joints deserve attention long before they're asking for it.
We've always told our puppy families:
The bullier they are... the harder they fall.
That's not a criticism—it's simply the responsibility that comes with owning a Bulldog built like a linebacker.
Our cleaner, more athletic dogs benefit from joint support too. Aging isn't exclusive to one style of Bulldog—or even one breed. It's simply part of life, and we believe supporting healthy joints before problems arise is one of the best investments you can make in your dog's future.
One lesson I'll never forget is Keyser Soze. Looking back, I wish I had started him on a joint support program much sooner. As he aged, there came a point where I was literally carrying my 140-pound Olde English Bulldogge outside just so he could go potty. It was heartbreaking, exhausting, and a reminder that these powerful dogs ask a lot of their bodies—and sometimes, of ours too. Thank goodness for CrossFit. 💜
He carried me through life for years. In the end, it was my turn to carry him.
That experience will stay with me forever, and it's one of the biggest reasons we're so passionate about supporting healthy joints before dogs ever need the help.
At 9 years old, our stud Ocean had started slowing down. Getting up wasn't as easy, and we could see age beginning to creep in.
After adding Summit Animal Health's pure oral chondroitin to his routine, we've watched him come back to life. More energy. Easier movement. More of the old Ocean we know and love.
That's all the proof we needed.
We'll soon be introducing Summit's injectable formula to some of our larger bulls and look forward to sharing those results as well.
If it doesn't earn a place in our own dogs... it doesn't earn a place on C+G Approved. 🏆💜🧬
One thing we've learned after decades with Bulldogs...
Hope for the best. Prepare for the unexpected.
No matter the breed, the pedigree, or how carefully a puppy is raised, life happens. Accidents happen. Illness happens. Sometimes genetics happen. That's simply part of loving a dog.
When we began looking for pet insurance, one feature mattered above all else:
Coverage for hereditary and congenital conditions.
As Bulldog breeders, we weren't interested in a policy that only covered the easy stuff. We wanted protection designed for real life and for the things responsible dog owners actually think about.
People often hear the words "genetic" or "congenital" and immediately imagine the worst. Knock on wood, that's never been the story of our program. Like many Bulldogs, the inherited concerns we encounter are more commonly things like eyelids or eyelashes—not life-threatening heart disease or severe orthopedic disorders. Even so, those are exactly the kinds of things we'd rather be prepared for than surprised by.
After comparing our options, Fetch Pet Insurance stood out.
With accident and illness coverage, TeleVet access, an online pharmacy, optional wellness and dental plans, and coverage for many hereditary and congenital conditions, it checked the boxes that mattered most to us.
We hope your policy is something you never truly need.
But if the day ever comes...
You'll be grateful you planned ahead.
That's why Fetch earned a place on C+G Approved. 💜🧬
If you’re starting early, use the oral liquid formula. If you’re feeling like a pro, go straight to the pure Chondronition IM injections!
More to come…
As we discover products worthy of earning the C+G Approved badge, we'll continue expanding this resource for our community.
Some links on this page are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you choose to purchase through them—at no additional cost to you. Those commissions help us continue creating educational content, supporting our puppy families, and improving the Chris + Gina experience.
If we wouldn't use it with our own dogs... it won't earn the C+G Approved badge.
Thank you for trusting our recommendations and for being part of our journey.
