Discover essential Pug care advice—nutrition, grooming, training, and health monitoring—for this affectionate and expressive breed.

Pug Breed Guide

The Pug is a beloved breed known for its round face, soulful eyes, and charming personality. They are affectionate companions who thrive on human interaction and love being the center of attention.

Grooming Needs

Pugs shed frequently, so weekly brushing helps manage loose fur. Their facial wrinkles must be cleaned daily to prevent infections, and regular nail trims and ear cleaning are necessary.

Nutrition & Feeding

Pugs have a big appetite but can quickly become overweight. A balanced diet with portion control is crucial. Divide meals into 2 portions daily and limit treats.

Training & Behavior

Pugs are intelligent but can be stubborn. Use positive reinforcement techniques and keep training sessions short and fun. They love companionship and may develop separation anxiety if left alone too long.

Health & Wellness

Pugs are brachycephalic, meaning they have short noses that cause breathing difficulties. Avoid strenuous exercise and keep them cool in hot weather. Eye issues, hip dysplasia, and obesity are also common concerns.

Health & Wellness

Pugs enjoy short walks and playful indoor activities. Avoid overexertion, especially in warm climates.
