The Pug Life!

Hi! I'm Harper and this site is about taking care of your pug (and maybe adopt them)! I found all this out from my pug, Bowser, and it may not be the same for you.

Feeding!

Feeding your pug may seem easy. I mean, how hard can it be? Well, it's not hard, but it can get messy. If your pug eats too fast, he/she might barf. Me and Bowser use a Slo Bowl.

Also, if you own other dogs, make sure they don't eat the others food.

Bathing!

Bathing seems like it should only be for floofy dogs, right? Even if pugs aren't floofy, they NEED baths. I use Natural Wunderz puppy shampoo.

My best piece of advice is get between those wrinkles!

Okay, I know your dog hates it. Maybe even you hate it! But it has to happen. Vacines, check-ups, ect. The usual BUT pugs are known for breathing isuses.

Bowser also has very sensitive skin, witch we use Benadril for.

This is self explanitory. Just make sure your pug has water all the time.

Bowser uses what looks like a hampster bottle.

Every Friday I take my three dogs on a walk! Just two blocks is enough for all of them.

Also, please, please PLEASE, use a harness*!

In Utah, We only have one purely pug adoption shelter. That shelter is called P.U.G.S.

Your local shelter might have one, too.
