Introduction

I’m a pug owner, and I love my pug more than anything in the world. But before you go out and buy that cute little nosey-face, there are some things you should know about adopting a pug. Don’t worry, though! Pugs are smart, loving dogs who make great pets—as long as their owners are prepared for the challenges that come with them! Here are seven things to know before adopting a pug:

Pugs are not hypoallergenic

Pugs are not hypoallergenic.
While pugs may have less fur than other breeds and shed less, they still produce a lot of dander (dead skin cells). This is what causes people to have allergies to their pets.
People with severe dog allergies should avoid adopting pugs. If you have milder allergies, you should talk with your doctor about whether it’s worth it for you to adopt a pug in order to experience the joys of owning one of these adorable little creatures!

Pugs have a lot of personality.

They’re very intelligent.

They’re very affectionate and social.

Pugs are loyal and playful, but also curious and stubborn at times.

Pugs are mischievous.

Pugs are mischievous. They’re a curious breed, and they like to get into trouble. They might chew on your favorite shoes or destroy your peace of mind if you don’t keep them busy with mental and physical exercise.

You can always count on pugs to bring some fun into your life, but it will take some work!

Pugs are clingy.

Pugs are very attached to their owners. They need to be with you at all times and will follow you around the house, sleep on your lap, and want to be in the same room as you. Pugs will even jump into bed with you!

If your schedule changes or if there is some other reason that your pug cannot be with you for a period of time (for example, when you go to work), it is important that he gets enough exercise and playtime during those times when he is home alone.

Pugs are sociable.

Pugs are social animals, and they do well when being around people and other dogs. Pugs get along with children that are older than age 6 or 7 years old, but they tend to not be good with young children because of their size and energy levels.

To prepare your pug for being around other animals such as cats or rabbits, you should train your pug to be friendly with them first. You can do this by bringing home a stuffed toy cat or bunny so that when it arrives at the house, it will associate these objects with positive experiences rather than negative ones.

Pugs have a lot of energy for a small dog.

Pugs are a breed of dog known for their short faces, wrinkly skin and big eyes. They have lots of energy and need to be taken on daily walks or runs; they also enjoy playing fetch with tennis balls or sticks. Pugs are the perfect companion for owners who love to get out and explore new places while they exercise their pug’s mind (and body).

If you’re looking to adopt a pug, but don’t want it running off after squirrels if you’re out on a hike together — no problem! You can train your new friend to do tricks like sitting up straight when asked or shaking your hand after placing treats in front of its nose.

You have to invest in the right gear for your pug.

If you’re adopting a pug, you need to be prepared to invest in the right gear. Your dog is going to need a cool place to sleep, because they are prone to overheating. Pugs can also be destructive and so you will want a sturdy crate or kennel for them when you can’t watch them closely.

Pugs can be the most fun and loving pets if you’re prepared for them!

If you’re considering adopting a pug, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, they aren’t hypoallergenic. They shed hair like any other dog and will get dander on your clothing if you sit or play with them too much. Second, pugs have a lot of personality: they’re mischievous, clingy, and sociable. They also enjoy cuddling with their owners (and even the occasional stranger). In addition to being great companions who love to be around people – and other dogs – pugs are also very intelligent animals who learn quickly when trained properly.

Conclusion

Ultimately, we hope that these seven things have made you feel more confident about adopting a pug. They’re an amazing breed with a lot to offer, and we think you’ll have a blast with them if you’re committed to the process!
