Pug health involves brushing their coat no less than two times a week and bathing them whenever they need it. The Pug dog usually sheds a lot of fur, so through frequent brushing you can be able to lessen the quantity of fur that covers your clothes, car, and furniture. Generally, there is not much required in the Pug’s daily care but one has to make extra consideration to the creases on a Pugs face.
Pugs are curious in nature and this is the reason why they keep on sticking their nose into so many things. This implies that the wrinkles can easily accumulate dirt and will need frequent cleaning. There is also a big chance that moisture will build up within the wrinkles or creases, which can result to irritation, itching, and bad infection.
Pugs are a unique breed in the sense that they love water. But when bathing, do not let the water get inside their ears because they can develop an ear infections. Also, avoid the shampoo from getting into their sensitive eyes.
For tip top pug health, you’ll want to be sure to feed your pug the best foods as well as take him to the vet regularly. Be sure he has all his vaccines and follow your Vets instructions on pet care. One thing you will need to do is brush your pugs teeth regularly and it is best to get them used to this when they are a puppy so start early!
Make sure to clip your Pug’s nails often, long nails often get caught on things like blankets and rugs. It can also make walking painful for the dogs when their nails are untrimmed.
Pugs are susceptible to ear infections because they have a thin ear canal, so always keep this clean and dry. When cleaning their ears, simply use a cotton ball or soft tissues, cotton swab is not advisable. When you notice the Pug to be constantly scratching or shaking his head, have his ears examined at once by a certified veterinarian as this could be an indication of an ear infection.
Keeping your pug in good health also entails daily exercise, periodic playtime and lots of love and attention!
