Puginese Health:

The Puginese mixed breed is predisposed to the same conditions that the Pug and Pekingese also face. While most are fairly healthy, some may be prone to a few health issues: 

Diabetes. 

Heart murmurs/heart attacks. 

Respiratory/breathing issues. 

Epilepsy. 

Luxating Patella. 

Allergies. 

Intervertebral Disk Disease.

 

Puginese Care:

As with all dogs, you should keep up with your Puginese pup's regular veterinary checkups to detect any health concerns early. The Puginese is prone to weight gain as well as diabetes, and have medium energy levels.  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.

 

Puginese Feeding:

An ideal Puginese diet should be formulated for a small breed with medium energy. They have a tendency to gain weight and are also prone to diabetes, so you should stick to a regular feeding schedule and not leave food out during the day. Limit their amount of treats as well.

 

Puginese Coat Color And Grooming:

The main colors of Puginese dogs are cream, brown, gray, black, or brindle. Sometimes their coats are solid, and sometimes they have a mix of colors. They are not a good choice for allergy sufferers, as they tend to shed a moderate amount, especially in the summertime. Because they can have longer coats as well as a short, flat snout, the Puginese isn't particularly suited for extreme weather conditions.

 

Puginese with Children And Other Pets:

Because the Puginese is a small dog, they can be easily injured and will need to be supervised by an adult when playing with children. Puginese dogs prefer to be around adults or older kids who know how to play gently and aren't overly excited. When it comes to other pets, the Puginese can get along with other animals if introduced slowly, calmly, and at a young age.
