Pugs

They have a breathing problem that was a side effect from the cross breeding done to create the breed. I owned one and that is what the vet told me.

small animals.... EX: rats, mice

No, pugs are not the most common of breeds but are by no means rare.

Pugs live a very easygoing and calm lifestyle. They absolutely adore affection and they would love to sit on your lap at all times. Personally, my pug loves exercise, but I know others that do not. It has to do with their temperament. However, all pugs are very friendly and loving. They're great with children of all ages and they're very loyal.

2-3 kg but most are off the scakes

most dogs will get their first season around 6/7 months and every 6 months after that.In many pugs this can be much later and subsequent seasons can be anything from every 6 months to once a year.

A female pug with a hernia SHOULD NOT BE BRED even if repaired. A male dog with a hernia may be bred. You can have the hernia repaired surgically.

Rolfing has also been used to treat such specific physical problems as chronic back, neck, shoulder, and joint pain, and repetitive stress injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome.

Actually there are various reasons why pugs snort. The primary reason is due to their physical make up. Because they have flat faces and longer pallets they have increased "volume" when they breathe as opposed to breeds with elongated snouts. This does not mean they all have asthma. There can be underlying issues (allergies, bronchial infections and so on) but a yearly physical with a good vet will let you know the status of your pug's health.

With pugs having shorter nasal passages than dogs with longer ones, they are also much more likely to inhale dust, fuzz, lint, etc., which will cause them to snort. Unless your pug is sneezing a lot, coughing, or having breathing problems, the snorting is usually nothing to worry about.

Dogs in the brachycephalic breed (dogs with short snouts), such a pugs, pekingnese, bulldogs, etc., are also less tolerant to heat, and should not be left outdoors when the temperatures reach higher than 85 degrees. With their snouts being shorter, the air they breathe in isn't able to cool off before it reaches the lungs. This can result in the dog overheating and, in some cases, even death.

Pugs live on average, 12-14 years, but some live as long as 17 or 18.

On average, Pugs live about 12 years, but they've been known to live well beyond their average life span with proper care, nutrition and of course some good luck.

about 8 or 9

it is not a good idea to only eat once a day. Your body has evolved from creatures whcih foraged for food, and ate small quantities of food several times a day. Unless you have been ordered by a doctor to eat only once a day, consider breaking up your caloric intake into smaller units that you spread across the day.

Maybe but you have to introduce them properly, but overall its up to the dogs to get along.

no. your dog probably has dental decay. take it to the vet and check out its teeth.

Tori Spelling is the most famous owner of a pug. Jonathan Knight (singer of New Kids on the Block or NKOTB) is also famous for having a pug named NIKKO on tour with him during the height of the boy band craze in the late 80s.

oh yes. a pug can be easily allergic to corn, wheat, chicken, animal fat, chocolate, onions, raisins, tree pollen, grass pollen, cotton,and cigarette smoke. but please, dont let this discourage you from getting one. my pug puppy was and still is the best gift ive ever received and no other breed could ever take his place!

Not necessarily, but they'll eat whatever ends up in their food bowl.

A puppy pug,like the term for a baby pig, 'piglet' they have used the word 'pug' as a novelty

Usnea is used to treat abscesses, colds, cough, cystitis, fungal infections (such as athletes foot or ring-worm), gastrointestinal (stomach and intestine) irritations, influenza, sore throats (including strep throat), respiratory infections

No, they cannot. Pugs are very sensitive to heat and high humidity; they can overheat very easily and very quickly.

My pug can do high five, dance, down, sit and we have taught her to do little jumps and run through a tunnel. Also we put our hand out and she will then put her paw on it and then we say other paw and give her our other hand and she puts her other paw out.

I have hear you can teach them to roll over and play dead but I am not sure if my pug would be able to do that as she never rolls over and if she does end up on her back (only once or twice) she got stuck and couldn't really move ! Silly dog !

I have a pug and he turned 19 years old 2weeks ago> his name is Otis and he still has a really strong heart according to the vet.

A pug puppy should eat 4 times a day up to 4mths of age when he can go down to 3 feeds a day, the quantity should be approx 400 grams per day TOTAL of wet food, If he is still hungry he could have a little more. At 7 months he can start adult food (this contains less protein) and then you will need to start monitoring his weight as pugs tend to overeat. Every dog is different but I usually let my small puppies eat as much as they like as puppies should be a little podgy :) An Adult pug should eat between 100 to 150 grams of wet food morning and evening depending on the amount of exercise he gets. If he seems over weight this can be reduced slightly.

Pugs can continue to have discharge for up to 8 to 10 weeks after giving birth. It will be dark brown in color and not smell particularly bad.

If your dog is acting normally and eating well it is probably fine, however if the discharge is red or the dog is showing any sign of discomfort you should go to the vet.

pugs are not supposed to eat chocolate, raisins, nuts(ESPECIALLY MACADAMIA NUTS. IT CAUSES PARALYSIS), and apples. sometimes pugs will be allergic to wheat, chicken, soy, corn, and animal fat. my pug is allergic to all the above.

Hiatal hernia is a condition in which a portion of the stomach protrudes upward into the chest, through an opening in the diaphragm. The diaphragm is the sheet of muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen. It is used in breathing.
