How To Care For Pug Puppies

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.

Like all puppies, Pugs need the right nutrients for development, especially in their first year. Proper nutrition contributes a great deal to brain development and total health so you want to be sure to feed your puppy a good quality, nutritious dog food.

So how do you choose a nutritious dog food?

While shopping for food for your Pug puppy be sure to look at the label on the brand of dog food you are buying. Pay special attention to the ingredients and ensure your Pug gets enough protein. Dog food having chicken, lamb or beef meal are rich in protein. Also, as far as possible do not feed your Pug table scraps or overfeed him as you don't want him to gain weight.

Providing the best care for pug puppies also includes getting the right supplies such as bowls for food and water. Also, look for a harness that fits well and a leash for your little guy, as well as a crate of an appropriate size and a dog bed. And don't forget toys to keep your Pug entertained!

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.

Plan ahead when choosing a crate and dog bed for your Pug. That puppy may be tiny now, but eventually he's going to grow, and he'll need a bed that will also fit him when he's full-sized. One solution is to get a crate that comes with a partition. This will allow you to create a cozy bed for your Pug puppy, and then take out the partition when he's larger.

It is a good idea to use a harness on your Pug instead of a dog collar. A harness fits around the dog's body, as opposed to collars that are attached around the dog's neck. Pulling on a collar can constrict the windpipe and this can lead to choking. To avoid damage to your Pug's windpipe or any other potential problems, the best choice is a harness.

It's not difficult to provide good care for Pug puppies. Most of it is just common sense. Feed your puppy nutritious food in appropriate quantities and make sure he gets his regular check-ups and shots. Your vet can guide you in this area. These few things plus your time and affection will help ensure that your puppy has a long, healthy and happy life.
