Due to the deep folds in their skin and their susceptibility to skin allergies, pugs need to be monitored closely for any signs of skin discomfort so that they can be treated before any problems escalate.

Common Conditions Seen in Pugs

One of the most common skin conditions that occur in pugs is Skin Fold Pyoderma. One variation occurs on the face of the pug and another can be found in the tail area.

Another condition that often affects pugs is atopic dermatitis. Pugs are susceptible to developing allergies to pollen, dust, foods, and household chemicals.

Still another skin problem that is often found in pugs is ringworm. This condition is a fungal infection of the skin that causes a ring-like shaped lesion on the skin, along with hair loss in the affected area.
