Considering a Pug puppy or adult dog? A small, flat-faced companion breed with significant breathing-health considerations. Use the questions below to consider everyday care and prepare for conversations with breeders or owners.
Pug buyers should put health and comfortable movement ahead of a very flat face or unusual colour. Think carefully about potential care costs and seek advice on the breed's welfare needs.
Provide suitable gentle activity, avoid overheating and maintain a healthy weight. Brush the short coat and ask for guidance on skin folds, eyes and routine dental care.
Ask for the parents' Respiratory Function Grading results, along with any history of breathing problems or surgery. Screening informs risk but cannot guarantee an unaffected puppy. Independent veterinary advice can help you assess concerns.
Ask for the puppy's veterinary records and evidence of parental screening recommended for Pug dogs. Check the current breed-club or Kennel Club guidance and match results to the parents. A routine puppy examination and registration papers do not replace inherited-health screening, and no test guarantees lifelong good health.
For a breeder-raised puppy, visit where it has grown up and meet its mother. Ask about socialisation, feeding, veterinary care and microchip records, and agree the handover details in writing. Puppies should not leave before eight weeks. For an adult or rescue dog, ask about its history and behaviour. Avoid pressure to pay before you have checked the seller and dog.
Compare the current adverts and ask what each price includes. Budget separately for food, insurance, veterinary care, training and any professional grooming. A higher price, unusual colour or rare label is not proof of responsible breeding or better health.
