Pug Health Problems

The first major source of infection is the dog’s adorable wrinkly skin so a veterinarian should be consulted at the first sign of infection. The folds are highly prone to bacteria infection if any dirt is allowed to build up between them, so regular bathing helps prevent this.

Eyes definitely cause major Pug dog health problems. The design of the Pug’s face means that the eyes are not protected as well as they could be, and are therefore prone to injury, among other problems. Pug owners need to be responsible for making sure their dogs have their eyes examined for inflammation regularly, and taken to the vet if any inflammation occurs.

Another health problem is overeating. Obesity is as detrimental to dogs as it is to humans, so you should definitely make sure your dog’s food intake keeps him at a healthy weight. Shade is essential to any Pug left outside during the summer, as they do not handle heat or humidity well so for this same reason, never leave your Pug (or any dog) in a parked car during the summer. Never leave the breed in high heat for very long, because this will cause the dog to have difficulty in breathing.

Providing good pug dog health isn’t difficult, as all is that is needed is taking proper care of your pet and taking him to the vet when he needs it. These adorable little dogs will provide many years of happiness for the companions that take care of them responsible.
