Pugs are cool
*because no one knows who snores you or your pug
Owning a dog is not just a privilege; it’s a responsibility. They
depend on us for, at minimum, food and shelter, and deserve much more.
When you take a dog into your life, you need to understand the
commitment that dog ownership entails.
💩Health
The Pug's dark, appealing eyes are one of his main attractions, but also one of his vulnerable spots. Eye problems including corneal ulcers and dry eye have been known to occur. Like all flat-faced breeds, Pugs sometimes experience breathing problems and do poorly in sunny, hot, or humid weather. The website of the breed's parent club, the Pug Dog Club of America, offers detailed information on breed health.
💩Groomig
The Pug's short, smooth, glossy coat needs minimal maintenance, but it does shed. Weekly brushing with a medium-bristle brush, a rubber grooming mitt, or a hound glove will help to remove the loose hair and help keep him looking his best. Pugs don't need to be bathed unless they happen to get into something particularly messy or start to get a doggy odor. The Pug's nails should be trimmed regularly, as overly long nails can cause him discomfort.
💩Exercise
Given the opportunity, a Pug will happily spend much of the day snuggling on the sofa'¿which, combined with the breed's fondness for eating, makes obesity a real possibility. But the Pug is playful, sturdy, and lively, too, and owners can keep the breed fit with daily opportunities for moderate exercise, such as walks or play sessions in the yard. It's vital to remember that as a short-faced breed Pugs aren't tolerant of hot weather, and they shouldn't do strenuous exercise when it's warm or humid out'¿better to be in air-conditioning. Some canine sports in which Pugs participate and excel include agility, obedience, and rally.
