10) Pugs are prone to health issues that affect flat-faced breeds

This breed may have breathing issues due to his flat face and short snout, but if you take good care of him and talk to your vet if anything concerns you, there's no reason he shouldn't stay in good health.

11) Many Pugs have allergies

Pugs are more prone than other dogs to be allergic to foods such as grains and should be given a high-quality diet.

12) Pugs have a high rate of vaccine reactions

Be aware that Pugs respond to vaccines a lot more differently than their other doggy counterparts. They may have an allergic reaction or may get sick, so be watchful or try to separate your immunizations into separate vet visits if possible.

After the break, learn about some surprising gross generalizations about Pugs that tend to be true.

    So true on all aspects. My black pug seems to be more human than the 2 fawn ones. And she definitely is grief shown guilt when something is wrong. Love my babies. All have different wonderful personalities
