Pugs Require Special Care
For many years, one of the most popular dog breeds has been the Pug. Before purchasing a Pug, you need to realize that it has special care requirements. This breed has been known to man for over three thousand years, and is a member of the AKC Toy group where it was initially recognized in 1885. Pugs are easy to recognize with their curly tail and flat, wrinkly face. The standard size for a Pug runs from 10 to 14 inches high and weighs between 13 to 20 pounds. There are many specific health care concerns to the breed, so an owner has to make sure that he or she take time to put the extra care effort into the dog breed that they need.
First, there is the dog’s folding skin. Unfortunately, the skin folds on a Pug are prone to infection. You must consult your veterinarian immediately at the first sign of infection. Regular baths to remove excess dirt from between the wrinkles will help to prevent skin infections. Not cleaning between the skin folds can cause bacteria build up which could lead to infection.
If left on their own with food, pugs will eat to excess. A Pug needs to have its’ food carefully controlled so that they do not overeat. Being overweight can be detrimental to them in the same way that it can be for humans. Heat can bother a Pug tremendously, so shade is very important to any Pug left outside. As with any living thing, they should never be left in a car during the summer. High temperatures can cause difficulty in breathing in Pugs, so you should avoid leaving them exposed to high temperatures.
Another factor which could cause pug dog health problems is its’ eyes. The special shape of a Pug’s face and the location of its’ eyes are generally the cause of many eyesight problems. Regularly checking should alert you to any eye inflammation. Any signs of inflammation is a signal to get your dog to the vet right away.
Of course, like any dog, taking proper care of your Pug and taking him to the vet for regular visits is the best way to insure good health. For those that provide proper care for their pet, they can be rewarded with many years of companionship.
