They may need their anal glands emptied. This is usually done when you take your pug to the groomer. To do this you place your forefinger and thumb on each side of the anus and squeeze. Foul smelling musky liquid comes out. In the wild this is used to mark territory. As a domestic, this liquid is not needed and can build up. This is one reason that I can think of a VET would be the best resource for this problem, so if there is any doubt SEE THE VET! ASAP do not hesitate.

Also, stool could be stuck in the anus and this is the way the pug is trying to wipe them self! so check that out.

My pug growls a lot but seemingly playful is that just a characteristic of pugs?

It seems as if it is a characteristic of pugs. My dog is 3.5 years old and when he is playing with his toys or me, he growls seemingly playful. Also, he makes this sound as if he's going to bark, but never really barks. It's sort of like a "MMMMFFFFF" sound. I've heard a lot of pugs do the same.


What is the issue with pugs?

First of all, pugs are not for everyone. Pugs may be cute, but they need a lot of attention and help. You can't have a cat if you want a pug. If your cat is bugging your pug, your pug will continue to scratch it's eyes. And that can lead to serious problems. Pugs also only live to 11 years of age. Since pugs have a pushed in face, they have no cooling cavity. Pugs need to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer. So if you don't have air conditioning, in the summer, your pug will have to spend a lot of time downstairs. And if you don't have a second floor, and you have air conditioning, then that can work too. And you also need to have heating in the winter. Pugs cannot spend a lot of time outside either. And here are three facts that will really annoy you. 1, Pugs shed eccesively, 2, Pugs have snot everywhere around their face, 3, if you want to sleep with your pug, their snoring will keep you awake. Pugs snore even during the day. I wanted a pug really bad. But not until i found out all of this bad information. I hope this is helpful to you. But it doesn't mean you shouldn't get a pug. Even if they have all of these problems, it isn't the pugs fault. You can still get a pug if you want to. Remember, pugs are really good dogs and they get along with a lot of dogs and people. They are even great with babies and toddlers. I'm only 10 years old. See Ya!
