In true superstar style, Snoop Dogg’s new French Bulldog puppy, Baby Boy Brodus, has already become a mini-celebrity. Just three days after the rapper introduced his furry companion to the world, the adorable pup has gained nearly 110K followers on Instagram, and the number is still growing.
With his charming face, luxurious fur, and a dad who’s a global icon, Baby Boy has quickly captured the hearts of fans everywhere. In one of the first videos shared by Snoop, the little Frenchie is seen playfully nibbling on his dad’s Death Row Records jacket while proudly showing off a Louis Vuitton collar and matching designer leash a nod to the high life he’s clearly being raised in.
But as the video went viral, so did a wave of thoughtful comments from fans and pet lovers.
While many people praised Baby Boy’s cuteness and Snoop’s bond with him, several followers in the comment section raised an important point: using a collar and leash on such a young puppy may not be safe.
“Love the pup, but please switch to a harness later – collars aren’t ideal for tiny necks,” one fan wrote. Another added, “That leash is cute, but it’s too soon for a puppy this small.”
Veterinarians and dog behavior experts agree. Young puppies, especially small breeds like French Bulldogs, have sensitive necks and airways. Using a collar and leash at such an early age can lead to discomfort or injury.
Instead, experts suggest waiting a few months until the puppy is a little older and stronger. At that point, a soft, well-fitted harness is a much safer and more comfortable option for walks and outings. It helps distribute pressure evenly across the puppy’s body and avoids strain on the neck.
Despite the concern, there’s no denying Baby Boy Brodus is living the dream life, and fans are loving every moment of it. His playful attitude, fashionable accessories, and sweet interactions with Snoop are quickly making him a favorite among pet lovers.
The Louis Vuitton collar and leash combo even sparked conversation about Pharrell Williams’ “Dandy Dog Walkers” collection, launched last summer by the luxury brand, proving once again that dogs are becoming just as fashionable as their celebrity owners.
