Pugs are an ancient breed that were once companion dogs to emperors in ancient China. These toy dogs have been associated with royalty in Europe as well. Pug personalities are often described as ‘multum in parvo’ which means ‘a lot in a little.’

To an outsider, a pug’s default expression is worry. However, a pug parent will be able to tell you that pugs display a variety of expressions. They are curious about new sounds and smells, highly alert, snuggly, loving and, often, clownish. Pugs are companion animals and spend their long lives (11-13 years) forming a strong bond with their humans. Don’t be fooled by their docile exterior, when provoked, these toy dogs will not hesitate to defend their territory, snack or human with everything they’ve got.

Healthy & Nutritious Treats

Pugs like treats that are easy for them to chew and handle. Twistix, Dogaholic and Calcium bones are all popular options because of they are appropriately sized.

This breed is prone to obesity to make sure you put them on a healthy, nutritious diet and don’t overdo the treats! Pugs are brachycephalic (short-snouted) and those that are heavier than their ideal weight have a harder time breathing comfortably.

Happi Doggy Vegetarian Dental Chew

Pugs often have double teeth (or two teeth seated very close together) where bits of food get stuck. So dental aids and a routine are very important.

Gnawing at Happi Doggy chews help to scrape off plaque and tartar from their teeth. If your pet’s breath smells it generally means you need to clean their teeth, sometimes it could be due to an underlying health issue, take your pet to the vet to check.

BOWLS FOR PUGS

Slant bowls are easier to eat meals out of than regular flat bowls.
This is because of the flat snouts that pugs have.

WITH YOUR PUG

Pugs are smart dogs so between snoozes they do enjoy mental stimulation and light physical activity. A snuffle mat is a great way to keep your pet occupied indoors. Pugs are also fond of playing tug and fetch. However, since they are prone to hip dysplasia, it’s advisable that running and fetching games are played on rough, outdoor surfaces so they don’t slip and slide as much.

Plush toys that are small sized and make squeaks or crinkly noises tend to get more attention from pugs. Short play sessions are better as they get out of breath pretty quickly due to their flat snouts.

GROOM YOUR PUG

Pugs have really short coats but they shed as the seasons change through the year. So we recommend regular brushing and a HUFT Deshedder with rake to capture loose fur from the coat. Between baths, a spritz of the Isle of Dogs Replascent Odour neutralising spray keeps the coat smelling fresh.

Pugs have large, round eyes that are excellent for the puppy dog look when begging for food. However, these soulful eyes tend to water often and tear stains around the eyes and cheeks are not uncommon. A product like the TropiClean SPA Lavish tear stain remover will come in handy.

Their snub, alert noses often dry out and may be crusty – this is nothing a little dab of snout balm can’t fix. A pug’s face folds require special attention as moisture and dirt get trapped between them. Use gentle face wipes to clean them out routinely. Ensure that the fur and skin between the folds are kept clean, dry and soft.

Your pug’s soft, velvety folded ears can need to be cleaned out regularly with wipes like the Skout’s Honor Probiotic Ear Cleaner to keep infections at bay.

WALK YOUR PUB

Pugs don’t need high levels of activity as a larger, working breed would. A leisurely stroll or two with their people, some outdoor game time or a puzzle indoors for warm days should be enough to keep your pug happy.

Remember not to take them out on hot afternoons and to always keep their environment cool. They are prone to heat strokes and overheating. Since pugs are brachycephalic and have short snouts, harnesses are preferred for this breed. Harnesses won’t put pressure on your pet’s neck. You can choose lightweight HUFT harnesses or Ruffwear harnesses.

Despite the fact that they love to stretch out on a lounger or curl up in a plush, donut shaped bed, they are alert for noises around the house and may often wake up to investigate them.
