The Pug Pup: Things You Must Do
If you are looking for a dog that will keep you company and wants to be with you all the time then the Pug is a great dog. It is bred specifically because it is such a great companion dog. The Pug puppy is energetic and this energy will last a good two or three years depending on your Pug puppy. If this sounds appealing to you then the Pug is the right dog for you. There are however some downsides to having a Pug.
Pug puppy care is quite extensive and you will need to make sure your Pug puppy gets taken care of properly to ensure a happy and healthy life for your Pug. If you don’t want a high maintenance dog then the Pug is not for you. Besides regular grooming and cleaning the Pug also could potentially have some serious health problems. If you are not prepared for this type of care then you should probably not get a Pug.
Never buy from a pet shop; your Pug puppy will have a higher chance of having genetic abnormalities. Housebreaking Pug puppies can be difficult. Your Pug puppy is intelligent but it might not always be cooperative as Pug puppies have a mind of their own.
This is because they are mischievous and a little stubborn. Being consistent throughout training and always discouraging bad behavior will go a long way to having a well-behaved Pug puppy.
Pug-proof your house before bringing home your Pug puppy. This means wrapping any wires in heavy tape and putting plastic guards on electrical sockets. Anything fragile or that you don’t want your Pug to chew should be kept out of reach of your puppy. Remember that Pugs are curious and will investigate anything and everything so keep things like chemicals and yarn away from your dog to avoid accidents from happening.
You should also brush your Pug’s teeth regularly. This will help avoid gum disease and also help you monitor the condition of your Pug’s mouth. You will be able to notice anything unusual and ask you vet about it.
Pugs are a breed that needs a lot of love and attention and if this doesn’t bother you then they are ideal dogs for you. They will reward you with as much, if not more, love and are suited to anyone who does not lead a very active or outdoor oriented life.
Most of all have fun with your Pug puppy. Your Pug will be a faithful companion who will shadow your footsteps. Its cute little face will never fail to cheer you up. The extra time and effort that is put into Pug puppy care will be rewarded by love and adoration from your Pug who only wants to be loved by you.
