Your first step is to simply show your Pug some love. They are very caring and affectionate. Taking care of your Pug always has to start with a lot of attention being paid towards them. A Pug is generally underfoot a lot, great lap dogs and happy to be with you no matter what it is you doing. So give them the love they need and deserve.

Those cute little wrinkles that everybody loves so much are not that much fun for you Pug. Those wrinkles must be cleaned out to keep moisture from building up that could ultimately cause an infection. Taking a baby wipe and cleaning out the folds every month or so is a good idea. When food is involved you have to keep your Pug on a good diet. They will eat anything and everything if given the chance. Two cups of food a day with a few yummy treats in between is good. Those cute little fat Pugs are not healthy Pugs.

Watch your Pugs overheating. I can't stress this enough. Pugs have no way of regulating their body temperature so you must be very careful. Never leave a your companion home during the summer without a cool room or air conditioning. If they are out in the heat make sure they have plenty of water.

Next it is good to be aware of the health issues Pugs tend to face. Eye problems such as dry eye syndrome are common among others. Tracheal collapse is one of a few different types of breathing problems that can occur. On top of this their legs and knees can be vulnerable to problems. Along with those issues obesity, back problems and skin allergies are common.
