Skin / Coat Care
Brushing your Pug once a week may cut down one the amount of shedding it does. However, it won’t eliminate it, so you better like the color tan or black, because it will be on everything you own. Bathing regularly will also help. We have found that “Mane and Tail” is a good shampoo and conditioner. It can even be found in Wal-mart now.
Wrinkles
The wrinkles and ears of a Pug need to be cleaned weekly as well. Some Pugs tend to hold lots of moisture in their wrinkles, which can cause itching, irritation and sometimes even infections. But don’t worry. The wrinkles can easily be cleaned. Just take a soft tissue and clean out the wrinkles on a regular basis.
Nails
As most other dogs, your Pug’s nails should be cut regularly. Long nails can make it painful for your Pug to walk. If you don’t feel like cutting the nails yourself, there are plenty of vets and grooming places out there that can do it for you!
