Tips To Keep Your Pug Healthy

Pug health should be your top concern.  When you own a pug you are responsible for trying to keep them healthy. So I put together some health tips for pug owners.

7 Pug Health Tips

1.  By far the number one pug health tip is to have your dog spayed or neutered.  There are hundreds of thousands of dogs that are put to sleep each year because no one wants them.

2.  Pug obesity is a common health issue.  Pugs seem to be prone to obesity, so keeping them on a strict diet of only two meals a day should help prevent this.

3.  Clean their water bowl with hot water and soap a couple of times a week.  Most people neglect cleaning the water bowl which develops a clear slim where bacteria love to grow.

4.  Regular visits to your veterinarian at least once a year for younger pugs, but once they reach 7 years of age it is best to take them at least twice a year to the veterinarian office.

5.  One way to extend your pug's healthy life is to properly train them.  Proper dog training can actually help dogs leave longer richer lives.  Properly trained pugs are less likely to run out into the street in front of cars and are less likely to have behavior problems.

6.  Feed only a dry hard dog food.  Dry dog food helps to prevent tartar build up which is very common when dogs are only fed wet food.

7. Keep the number of your vet handy at all times in case of emergencies and also use this service when needed:  Ask A Vet
