Bringing a new Pug into your home can be an exciting time and learning how to give the best care for pug puppies will ensure your new Pug gets a good start in life. Like all puppies, Pugs need the right nutrients for development, especially in their first year. Proper nutrition contributes a great deal to brain development and total health so you want to be sure to feed your puppy a good quality, nutritious dog food. So how do you choose a nutritious dog food? Be sure to read the dog food label to make sure it's loaded with nutritious ingredients. The first ingredient listed should be protein -- chicken, lamb, or beef meal. Don't start feeding your pug table scraps, and help him live a long and healthy life by not overfeeding him. Supplies constitute a very important aspect in the care for Pug puppies. These supplies include food and water bowls, a good harness and a crate housing a comfortable bed. You can also throw in some fun toys to keep your pug happy. Food and water bowls for your pug should be wide but shallow. Dishes that are too narrow or deep can cause your puppy to get food or drink in his eyes, and cause eye infections. The size of the crate and dog bed for your Pug is very important. These puppies although very small at the beginning will grow up ,so pick up something which will be able to house him through a period of time. If you are going for a larger crate you can divide it using a partition when he is small and latter on remove the partition to accommodate him after he has grown up. When choosing the leash and collar, a harness is a much better choice for your Pug than a standard collar, which can potentially choke your dog if he pulls against the collar too strongly. A harness safeguards your Pug's windpipe, since it doesn't cause any pressure on that area. It's not difficult to provide good care for Pug puppies. Most of it is just common sense. Feed your puppy nutritious food in appropriate quantities and make sure he gets his regular check-ups and shots. Your vet can guide you in this area. These few things plus your time and affection will help ensure that your puppy has a long, healthy and happy life.
