#4 Since the eyes protrude very far, the Pug tends to conjunctivitis, which is why they should be cleaned regularly or provided with eye drops.
You should also make sure that the dog is not grabbed too tightly by the neck or plays too wildly and injures its eyes. Because that can cause the eyes to fall out of the socket. Unfortunately, Pommes had to experience this before. Luckily, her eye was saved in time and she sustained no permanent damage.
#5 I keep hearing that pugs are lazy, sluggish and lethargic. In this respect, however, he is quite underestimated.
Because even the snorkeling, compact four-legged friend can turn up the heat quite a bit and needs his space to run around. If the pug is fit and not overweight, it can go for longer walks without any problems. I notice immediately when fries have not been given enough exercise. Her mood then quickly changes between excited, nervous and bitchy.
#6 Of course, you shouldn’t overwhelm the breed either.
For example, I would not recommend sporting activities such as jogging or cycling for every pug, as they can have serious problems with their breathing and condition, and the strain on the joints due to their physique is too high.
