Pugalier Care:
As with all dogs, you should keep up with your Pugalier's regular veterinary checkups to detect any health concerns early. Pugaliers are prone to weight gain, and they have moderate energy levels. Make sure your pup gets several potty breaks through the day with active play sessions and short walks mixed in. Check their ears for debris and pests daily and clean them as recommended by your vet. Trim your dog's nails before they get too long--usually once or twice per month.
Pugalier Feeding:
An ideal Pugalier diet should be formulated for a small breed with a moderate energy level. They have a tendency to gain weight if they are overfed, so you should stick to a regular feeding schedule and not leave food out during the day.
Pugalier Coat Color And Grooming:
The main colors of Pugaliers are apricot, black, brown, ruby, gray, white, black & tan, and tricolor. Sometimes their coats are solid, but usually they're a combination of these colors. Because they tend to have shorter coats, Pugaliers aren't particularly suited for extreme weather. You'll likely need a coat in the winter for your dog, and you may need to apply sunscreen to the ears, nose, and sensitive areas where there's less fur coverage in the summer months.
Pugalier with Children And Other Pets:
Because the Pugalier is on the small side, they can be easily injured by overly excited children. When it comes to other pets, Pugaliers get along well with most animals if they are introduced slowly and calmly, and early socialization will help this go smoothly.
