Basic Care For Pug Puppies

By: Lee Dobbins

A good start is always important with anything, so if you are adopting a Pug, you want to start off by learning about providing the best care for Pug puppies.

Proper food and nutrition is essential for your Pugs overall health, especially in his first year. It really helps to ward off a lot of health ailments and makes your Pug sharper, so pay special attention to what you are feeding him.

How do you tell if your dog food is the best?

It is vital to review the label on any bag of dog food that you buy before using it, to make certain that it contains only healthy ingredients and does not have filler. By verifying that chicken, lamb or beef meal is the first ingredient listed, you will ensure that your young pug will get enough protein. It is unwise to give your leftovers to your pug. You should also be careful not to overfeed him, as this can lead to him becoming overweight.

Don't forget to stock up on all the necessary supplies for your Pug puppy. He'll need food and water bowls, a sturdy harness, a leash, and a cozy bed of his own. And for doggy playtime, don't forget his toys!

Food and water bowls for your pug should be wide but shallow. Dishes that are too narrow or deep can cause your puppy to get food or drink in his eyes, and cause eye infections.

The size of the crate and dog bed for your Pug is very important. These puppies although very small at the beginning will grow up ,so pick up something which will be able to house him through a period of time. If you are going for a larger crate you can divide it using a partition when he is small and latter on remove the partition to accommodate him after he has grown up.

For pugs, a harness is much better than a regular dog collar. The harness is much safer than the collar for these types of dogs because using a collar on a Pug can cause a serious choking hazard if your Pug pulls on the collar too hard. A harness will not have any constriction near the windpipe and you will be able to avoid any damage to this fragile area.

If you've got a good head on your shoulders and know the basics of good canine care, you'll have no problem learning how to care for Pug puppies. Just be sure to provide good food, a loving home, and proper veterinarian care, and you'll have a buddy for life!
