Q: how often should you feed a pug? -
A: my mama leaves my food out all day *snort* and i eat when i want...i know most pugs can't handle that, gobbling away everything right away....*schnurf* and with the barf (raw) diet, you need a feeding time as well. some people choose to feed their pug three times a day, for the three meals, and others chose to feed twice a day. breakfast and dinner. split the food intake between the meals. my gramma feeds her dogs small "snacks" in the morning and afternoon and a "meal" at night. try to keep meal times the same each day, so there is a routine in place.

Q: my pug shedds alot can I have her shaved? -
A: If you shave her, don't go BALD. Just have it cut very, very short. HOWEVER, I discourage it *snort* Pug's hair is the only way it can control its temperature. Without hair, your pug can get severe sunburn, heatstroke, and even cancers. Actually hotter. *snort* in the end it is your choice. Part of a pug is its thick, rich coat and the shedding. Shaving dogs that have undercoats (like pugs) may actually ruin the topcoat. With some dogs, the fur will grow back in patches. Most dogs when shaved will grow their coat back, but it won't look as full or nice as it was originally. Instead of shaving, try regularly brushing ((with a shedding brush) your pug. The FURminator is great! And try finding a groomer that offers the FURminator service.

A: Multiple c-sections cause scarring and are stressful on your pug *snort*

Q: does neutering your pug make it taller? -
