Nutrition is important for any animal, but especially for the pug puppy’s first 12 months. Pugs have extremely sensitive skin and can be highly allergic to certain foods. It is necessary for you to do your own individual research on each food and make an informed decision on brands and flavors. Remember to watch your pug for dry skin, dry nose, loose stool, coarse hair and itchy feet. These may be signs that your puppy/dog is not getting the nutrition they truly need. Pug puppies from Loda’s Pugs are fed Nature’s Domain Puppy food from Costco.

Fresh fruits and vegetables should be considered for snacks if your puppy or dog is still hungry after their meals. Let’s face it, pugs are always hungry. Please research vegetables and fruits that are safe for your puppy or dog. Remember, some human foods are poisonous to dogs! Mushrooms, onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, almonds, avocado, chocolate, apple seeds, peach pits, and macadamia nuts are all examples of foods not to give your puppy/dog.
