    I feed my 10 yr old pug Science Diet small bites. Any time we switch she gets sick so we are sticking with it.

    Warning about pugs: They shed so ridiculously much that had I known, I may not have gotten one. They are very sharp hairs that plug your vaccum, stick in your couch, and even give your splinters. You also have to get their anal glands squeezed (YUCK!!!) or they will smell! And mine can't be walked because she has serious trouble breathing in the heat and long distances. Other than that they are great!

    I knew all about the shedding, we were very impressed with our breeders dogs, they didn't shed at all on me when we were at the breeder, and their house was spotless. Our apartment is small and I'm used to having dogs (my mum breeds poodles, and when I was a kid we had labs, also high shedders). I made sure to find a breeder who's dogs had more of a muzzle and less wrinkles. :) we're very excited to bring her home!

    What is wrong with getting a pug from a rescue? Or a mutt from a rescue? Millions of dogs are killed each year just because there are not enough homes. Why support bringing even more into the world?

    I got my pug from a rescue after he had been saved from a "puppy mill". I don't see anything wrong with that. Yes, pretty much all dogs shed... buy a good vacuum and plenty of dog treats and play toys... they are HILARIOUS!!! Also my dog snores and snorts... but not any worse then my Husband and I keep him around. We are one happy lil family!
