My boyfriend and I are getting a dog. I have always had a thing for those funny little pugs. I’m wondering what kind of pet would a pug be and if it’s right for us. Do they shed a lot? because I would hate that. Do they have many health problems later on? How long do they live? Do they do well in a small 1 bedroom apartment? And are they friendly with little kids and hamsters? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

breathing problems
trouble coping with temprature extremes
passing gas
eye problems
skin problems
snoring(kinda cute anyway:)
what else tell me….

My vet suggested getting insurance for my pug just in case (because they are known to have some health problems as they get older). Has your pug had any major health problems? Do you have insurance for pug?

I mean, whats the best way to prevent?

My pug has had nothing but health problems. I know purebred dogs have more health problems than others. She is nine years old and she has sugar and skin problems. I feel like we have a revolving charge card at the vets. And she also has ear infections constantly and allergys. We love our dog shes like a spoiled kid.

i want a pug but i hear that they have a lot of health problem, is that true and what would it be?
