Bringing a new Pug into your home can be an exciting time and learning how to give the best care for pug puppies will ensure your new Pug gets a good start in life.

In his first year, your Pug needs particularly good nutrition, to ensure proper brain development and physical health. He depends on you to feed him good, nutritious food, which will prepare him for a long, healthy life.

But how do you go about finding the best food for your Pug puppy?

It is vital to review the label on any bag of dog food that you buy before using it, to make certain that it contains only healthy ingredients and does not have filler. By verifying that chicken, lamb or beef meal is the first ingredient listed, you will ensure that your young pug will get enough protein. It is unwise to give your leftovers to your pug. You should also be careful not to overfeed him, as this can lead to him becoming overweight.

Don't forget to stock up on all the necessary supplies for your Pug puppy. He'll need food and water bowls, a sturdy harness, a leash, and a cozy bed of his own. And for doggy playtime, don't forget his toys!

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.

When picking a resting place or even toys and things for your pug puppy, always remember to chose things that your puppy can grow into. A pug puppy's size can be tiny at first but it will eventually grow out of it. For example, it is recommended when getting a crate for a resting place to chose one that has a partition so you can adjust the crate's size according to the growth of your puppy.

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.

Common sense and basic dog care are the main components of learning to care for pug puppies. As long as they receive proper nutrition, vet case and plenty of love, the puppy will be your happy and healthy companion.
