Use the puppy's food as a treat when training. We will supply you with a small bag of the puppy's food on the take home day. We highly recommend keeping your Labrador Retriever puppy on the Large Breed Puppy Purina puppy food until 2 years of age. And then at 2 years switch to Large Breed Purina dog food. Probiotics: We recommend giving your puppy probiotics for the first two weeks to help with the changing environments. Even with preventative care, expect your puppy to have a loose stool every so often because they explore the world through their mouths and therefore ingest things that affect their immature digestive system. Giardia, Coccydia, and roundworms are all common parasites that puppies get and are effectively treated with dewormers.

Another problem that occurs in overweight labs is joint and movement issues.

Starting training early was important to us. The staff is excellent! Everyone was caring towards us and our pet! We reached out after deciding to get a new addition to our family to help reinforce training with our year-old German Shepherd and make sure we got our new puppy on the right track with training right off the bat! The team was attentive to out concerns and went above and beyond to help with the transition! Now our GSD is better behaved than ever and our puppy seamlessly joined our household. But now he loves to work and do his commands and is super easily corrected. They are so helpful and responsive. Everyone is SO nice, accommodating and helpful. I love how the relationship I have with my dog has grown and it has opened doors for us to be able to enjoy life together! I highly recommend you talk to them to help with any needs you have! Now, Finn is the most lovable, obedient and sweet family member. We are now working towards a therapy dog certification! The team Danny, Jerod, McKinsey is amazing both in terms of technical skills and the love they show. Their techniques have truly changed our lives and our pups life for the better. Our dog now knows our commands and we are able to communicate with him in a way to where he understands. They have made this process so enjoyable and so much fun. Seeing the results so soon truly brought so much joy back to our lives! After Rhys's very first lesson, I saw a massive improvement! He was afraid of my brother's bird and would bark non-stop and jump up to try to see her, now he sits quietly and just observes her. I'm only in the midst of basic obedience, but a lot of people already think he's advanced to the service dog in training status when I take him to public places! The staff at DTE are also incredibly friendly and helpful. Could not be more grateful! They are kind, patient, and just as excited about progress as you are. The training is just as important for the person as it is for the dog - and this investment is worth every penny. My 2 year old pitbull, Linus, was a challenge for them in more ways than one!! I truly believe this training will save his life. I am so happy to be part of this wonderful pack!! The trainers truly love what they do and it shows. Before starting our training Stormi had eaten my windowsills and coffee table. After I am able to bring her out with me while having the peace of mind that she will not only listen to me but be happy while doing so. This program make sure that treats are not the reward factor for their training. Their philosophy is to have the dog respect you and for you to respect your dog. I thank everyone for their work and effort while helping to training Stormi! Sites which have been shut-down by WA Scamnet Tips for avoiding pet scams Consider purchasing a pet from a rescue shelter or a registered local breeder with a legitimate physical address, landline number and ABN. Verify the breeder information and ensure you are contacting them through their registered contact details. Do your research. Meet the animal in real life before handing over any money. If paying online, use a credit card or PayPal which have avenues to dispute the transaction rather than a bank or wire transfer. Tips to avoid fake websites Be suspicious about: Great 'deals' served to you via an internet search or pop-ups - scammers hope to catch you out when you impulse-buy after seeing a bargain. Unfamiliar or new websites - look for a copyright year on the homepage, although this date can also be faked. Websites that do not list a full physical address, telephone number or ABN, or if these details cannot be verified. Insecure payment methods such as direct bank transfer or wire transfer. Pixelated photos, spelling errors and other clues that you may be looking at a copycat site of a real online business. You can anonymously report criminal activity and suspicious behaviour either online at crimestopperswa.

One or both of this puppy's parents have undergone genetic testing. One or both of this puppy's parents are hip certified. One or both of this puppy's parents is OFA Heart certified. This puppy has had early neurological stimulation exercises. It is also important to understand there are different types of golden retrievers which may affect pricing. For example, if you decide to choose the lowest golden retriever cost option, those puppies almost never have the necessary 3rd-party assurances or veterinarian procedures like dewormings, vaccinations, health-tested parents, or a thorough health checkup. These missing costs and services will be your responsibility, making the total cost ultimately the same. Not to mention the added stress on you these extra expenses and issues create! Adopting vs. Please note that depending on the shelter, you may have to pay additional costs for your Golden certain shots and procedures. Depending on if the golden retriever is a boy or a girl may affect the price as well. Some male vs female golden retriever differences may make you prefer one over the other. This will ultimately save you time and money on your golden retriever price because breeders often pay lower veterinary rates than individuals do. Distemper, for example, is a highly contagious disease that attacks the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and nervous systems of dogs. Unfortunately, there is no cure — just a lot of expenses and stress which really adds to the overall cost of your Golden Retriever puppy. It is wise to ask your vet for guidance on this decision. Talk with your vet about the procedure, when you should get it done, and how much it might cost. Dental Care for Your Golden Retriever Golden Retrievers, like many dogs, can be prone to dental issues such as plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay. These cleanings typically involve scaling, polishing, and potentially extractions if necessary. Some insurance providers offer optional dental coverage as an add-on or as part of more comprehensive plans. If dental coverage is included in the policy, it typically covers a portion of the costs associated with dental cleanings, extractions, and other necessary dental treatments. This typically includes services such as bathing, brushing, trimming, nail clipping, ear cleaning, and sometimes additional services like de-shedding or dematting. Some groomers may offer package deals or discounts for regular appointments or bundled services. This monthly expense may seem like an additional cost, but it can be a worthwhile investment when considering the potential savings on veterinary bills for treatments, surgeries, and medications. By having pet insurance in place, you can ensure that your Golden Retriever receives the necessary care without straining your finances in the event of unexpected health issues. Puppy Training and Socialization Classes Attending puppy training and socialization classes is highly recommended for the comprehensive development of your Golden puppy. These classes provide structured learning environments, social interaction, and essential obedience training. By enrolling your Golden Retriever puppy in these classes, you ensure they receive the necessary foundation for good behavior, social skills, and overall well-being. The cost for food will depend on the size, age, and activity level of your companion. Fortunately, the cheaper brands of dog food can be just as good as the more premium brands as long as they meet the standards of AAFCO and are made with minimal processing. When making your decision, make sure to avoid artificial ingredients and preservatives where you can, since they could cause health problems for your dog.

Keeping Golden Retrievers Healthy: 6 Issues to Watch Out For By recognising health problems in a Golden Retriever early on, you can seek advice and treatment from a veterinarian sooner. Reduce Golden Retriever health problems by purchasing a puppy from a responsible New Zealand breeder who has papers to show that the dogs they breed are healthy. Always inspect breeding facilities and breeding dogs, and never buy from a distant online seller. If you opt for Golden Retriever adoption, be sure to get as much medical history that the rescue group or shelter is able to provide. Joint Dysplasia: Golden Retrievers are known to suffer from elbow and hip dysplasia, diseases that cause the joints to grow abnormally and develop arthritis. You can avoid this condition by only buying dogs from breeders who certify their dogs to be free of any joint dysplasia. If you are adopting a Golden Retriever through a rescue organisation or rehoming from another family, make sure you ask for the medical history of your new pet. Allergies and infections due to fleas, food or environmental allergens like pollen are common in Golden Retrievers causing hair loss, red and itchy skin. Look out for excessive grooming and scratching. Ear Infections: Allergies and floppy ears can predispose Golden Retrievers to recurrent ear infections. Dogs typically suffer from outer ear infections, which cause ears to be red, itchy, smell terrible and have increased discharge. Hypothyroidism: An underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism, is a common issue in Golden Retrievers, which can cause weight gain without appetite change, low energy, changes in skin and hair coat, lethargy and mental dullness. Cataracts: Cataracts, or cloudiness in the eye lens, are known to be a genetic problem in some Golden Retrievers, and it can cause blindness if untreated. Cancer: Unfortunately, cancer is very common in Golden Retrievers. The most common types of Golden Retriever cancer reported are hemangiosarcoma cancer of the blood vessel walls , osteosarcoma bone cancer and lymphosarcoma blood cancer. Caring for Your Golden Retriever Dog Your Golden Retriever will shower you with a lifetime of love and laughter if you care for them properly. Grooming: Do Golden Retrievers shed a lot? Yes, they do, but it is so worth it. Golden Retrievers shed subject to the time of year. To reduce shedding, brush your Golden Retriever regularly once or twice a week, and daily during the heavy shedding times. Using a comb or deshedding tool will be essential during molting. Bathing a Golden Retriever, unless the dog is heavily soiled, is not recommended more than once a month. Clipping a Golden Retriever is not recommended. Nails should also be trimmed regularly and teeth brushed to keep them clean. Nutrition: Nutrition plays an important role in the health of your Golden Retriever, and how much you feed them is as important as what you feed them. Studies show that large-breed dogs live longer and experience fewer problems with disease, including arthritis, if they are kept at a healthy weight. Ask your veterinarian what the ideal weight for your Golden Retriever should be. As for the best dog food for Golden Retrievers, adult Golden Retrievers benefit most from eating a complete and balanced large-breed dog food, like Royal Canin Maxi Adult dry dog food, which is uniquely formulated to support the bone and joint needs of large-breed dogs.

Adult Golden Retrievers need at least 45 minutes of exercise a day, whether it is walking, running , playing fetch or training. Many Golden Retrievers enjoy playing in water , and swimming is a great low-impact exercise. Chewing is also an important behaviour that can be supported by giving your Golden Retriever safe items to chew. Exercises such as hiking, agility, or swimming provide both physical and mental stimulation for Golden Retriever dogs. Then you can supplement with interactive dog toys , learning tricks and playing games like hide and seek. For normal growth, Golden Retriever puppies need less strenuous exercise than adult Golden Retrievers. And when put to a task, whether work or play, most Golden Retrievers develop a single-minded focus to get the job done. Like every dog, they excel when trained using treats and dog-friendly positive-reinforcement training. Because most Golden Retrievers are toy-driven, balls and toys are a great way to supplement treat training. Like many dogs, Golden Retriever puppies can be mouthy, so consistent early training will help to decrease this natural tendency to nibble. Golden Retriever potty training is also straightforward, requiring typical supervision and consistency to get the job done. This playful breed needs both physical and mental exercise to work off their boundless energy. Their name gives a clue to an easy way to do so—retrieving. These playful, energetic pups will fill your life with joy, fun and activity. Get ready for long walks or runs , games of fetch in and out of the water, and maybe even an agility class or two.

The Australian Labradoodle is different from all other labradoodles In the mids, The Australian Guide Dog Association received an inquiry from a blind lady requesting a guide dog that would not cause her allergies to flare. To achieve a hypoallergenic dog they needed to breed their proven Labradors to a dog that was already non-shedding, hence the Standard Poodle. The resulting Labradoodles subsequently have been bred to each other, continuing the multi-generational tradition without ever having to go back to the parent breed of the Labrador or Poodle. Even when the other types of Labradoodles are bred on for generations, the result is not an Australian Labradoodle, as the attributes of the infused breeds were not included in their ancestry. We have also produced many therapy and service dogs in Atlanta and the surrounding areas. Our puppies are birthed in our home and raised in our acre farm in the suburbs of Atlanta.

By Emily A. Fassbaugh, DVM on Jun. The Pug became a favorite of royals around the world, and today they are a very popular dog breed. They are easily identifiable due to their flat, wrinkly face, curly tail, and snorty, loud breathing. A Pug is typically 10 to 13 inches tall and weighs 14 to 18 pounds. They have short coats that are typically fawn tan or black. Caring for a Pug Pugs are a very friendly dog breed that thrive on attention from their owners. They are people pleasers and like to feel included in the day-to-day happenings in their home. Pugs are a brachycephalic breed. This means they have short muzzles, flat faces, narrow nostrils, and narrow airways—and often have an elongated soft palate. The elongated soft palate can cause a blockage to the windpipe entrance, creating the typically loud snoring and breathing noises they produce. Due to their flat faces, Pugs breathe with more effort than dogs with a normal-size muzzle. This creates swallowed air, which leads to Pugs being gassier than most dogs. It also means that Pugs do not do very well in overly hot climates or with extreme exercise. As a result, Pugs do best as primarily indoor dogs, with controlled excursions outside. While their coat is short, they do shed quite a bit. Regular grooming can help to manage their shedding. Pug Health Issues Pugs are prone to many health issues. Most are related to their brachycephalic conformation. Fortunately, many of their potential health problems can be managed with the assistance of your veterinarian. Since dogs use their airways to cool themselves, this increased effort for Pugs leaves them more predisposed to overheating. To keep your Pug safe, follow these guidelines: Avoid taking your Pug outside during the hottest parts of the day Avoid strenuous exercise for your Pug during hot weather Provide consistent access to cool, clean water Excess weight can increase breathing difficulties and make it easier for a Pug to overheat. Keeping your Pug at a healthy weight or on a weight-control diet to prevent obesity—when prescribed by a veterinarian—will help minimize risk. Respiratory Distress The narrow airway of a Pug also means that they are more prone to respiratory distress. If your Pug becomes stressed or distressed, they breathe even harder. This harsh breathing causes their already narrow airways to collapse further, which makes it even harder for them to breathe. Without intervention, this can progress to the point of low oxygen levels and collapse. Avoiding stress and keeping your Pug calm can help to avoid true respiratory distress. If you are noticing heavy or distressed breathing, contact your veterinarian or an emergency vet clinic immediately. This is a simple procedure that can be done at the same time as spay or neuter surgery. Your veterinarian may also recommend surgery to correct an elongated soft palate if they have severe respiratory problems. Allergies and Ear Infections Pugs are especially prone to skin allergies and ear infections. These problems can start to show up as early as one year of age. Since Pugs have narrow ear canals and deep folds in the skin around their face, they can collect debris and bacteria more easily. Regular cleaning also allows you to check the ears and skin to identify inflammation and seek care early. Skin allergies are not curable, but seeking medications from a veterinarian and doing preventive bathing and ear cleaning to prevent infections caused by allergies will help to keep your Pug comfortable and happy. Dental Disease Pugs have small jaws, but they have the same number of teeth as other dog breeds. As a result, many of their teeth are crooked and crowded. Just like in people, crowded and crooked teeth can lead to increased buildup of food between their teeth. The result is increased risk for gingivitis, infection, and dental disease. Over time, this can lead to tooth loss and pain. Daily tooth brushing is key to control and prevent inflammation. In addition, annual dental cleanings under anesthesia by your veterinarian starting at 1—2 years of age will help to identify infection and periodontal disease early. Ultimately, diseased teeth should be removed as early as possible to avoid pain, but diligent dental care can help prevent tooth loss. Eye Injuries A problem that is unique to Pugs is the risk of eye injury. All of these constitute an emergency, and your pet should be taken to the vet immediately. Without rapid treatment, these injuries can result in permanent damage or even loss of an eye. This condition affects the hips of a dog and happens when blood flow to the top of the femur is restricted, leading to a very painful condition that will eventually lead to arthritis. What to Feed a Pug Diet is an important part of maintaining the health of a Pug, especially since obesity is common for the breed. Obesity increases the risk of heat stroke and breathing problems. To help keep your Pug at a healthy weight , talk with your veterinarian about a weight management or calorie-restricted diet to help prevent obesity. Make sure that you are feeding your Pug a dog food that is appropriate for their life stage puppy, adult, or senior. These age-specific diets ensure that your Pug is getting the nutrients they need to thrive at every age. Some Pugs have food allergies that contribute to skin problems; your veterinarian will discuss feeding trials and special protein ingredients to test for and treat food allergies. How to Feed a Pug Pugs do best when fed 2 or 3 small meals a day. So when feeding dry food, the shape and size of the kibble is important to prevent choking. Some companies make foods specific to Pugs, designed to be easier to eat and help manage Pug-specific medical problems. Talk with your veterinarian to learn more about breed-specific dog food and the best kibble size for your dog. How Much to Feed a Pug Pugs should be fed based on their body size to avoid overfeeding. Typically, this is 1 to 1. Nutritional Tips for Pugs Any nutritional supplements given to your Pug should be used to address their individual health problems. A fatty acid supplement such as fish oil can be beneficial in managing skin allergies. A joint supplement containing glucosamine and chondroitin can be beneficial if your Pug has arthritis or other joint problems. They are easily excited and can have periods of high energy. Pugs are eager to please and love spending a lot of time with their owners. They are a very loving breed and enjoy cuddling and being close to their people. Pet parents must remember that their brachycephalic characteristics make them snore, so light sleepers be warned. Pug Behavior Pugs are generally happy, friendly dogs. While they do have moments of high energy, they are generally calm couch potatoes. Without mental stimulation, Pugs can become mischievous and develop problematic behaviors or find destructive activities to keep them busy. Be sure to schedule your outdoor playtime around peak sun hours to avoid risk of your Pug overheating. Aggression is rare—especially if your Pug has been well socialized during their puppy years and has a solid training foundation. Pug Training Pugs are typically very food-motivated, which makes them relatively easily to train. They are not physically good candidates for high-energy exercise, such as running and agility, but low-key activities like casual walks or a quick game of fetch are fun for them. Fun Activities for Pugs. Caring for your Pug Pugs can be highly entertaining dogs due to their big personalities and clownish nature. They generally do well in family environments where they have lots of company all of the time as they love to spend time with everybody. Pugs and barking As with any dog, your Pug is likely to make noise in one form or another. How much your dog barks will be down to them as an individual. Training and socialisation When it comes to training Pugs, although they are a clever breed they can also be very strong willed. Training needs to be ongoing and firm but fair. You can start positive, reward-based training from day one, whether you get your Pug old or young. Exercise Pugs can be prone to gaining weight that can make breathing problems worse, so it is important to keep them active and avoid any weight gain. Your Pug will need up to an hour of exercise a day. This should include shorter walks, with extra playtime and lots of brain-stimulating activities. Several shorter walks throughout the day can help to stop them from becoming too tired or overheated, which is a great way to keep them active throughout the day. Keep a close eye on your Pug as they can tire easily due to their difficulties getting enough oxygen. As soon as you start to notice them struggling to breathe, stop and make sure they get enough of a rest. You will also need to avoid exercising them in the heat as this can cause even more problems since they can be at higher risk of heatstroke. Grooming Even though their coats are short, Pugs can still shed loads. Luckily, they tend to love being groomed as it means a lot of attention all on them. Pay close attention to the folds in their skin, as these are the perfect breeding ground for bacterial and fungal infections if left damp. You can teach your Pug from an early age to love tooth brushing and nail clipping so you can keep those pearly whites and paws in great condition. Pugs and children Pugs adore company and really love people of all ages. They often get on well with children, especially if the Pug loves to play. As with every breed, you should always teach children how to approach and play with dogs with care and kindness, to prevent any issues. Always supervise children and vulnerable people with your Pug and make sure you can recognise the signs of unhappiness or anxiety in your dog to help avoid any conflicts. Pugs and other pets Pugs are known for getting along well with other pets and dogs. Introductions still need to be done carefully, though, just in case. Good, kind training will also help them become well-rounded dogs that keep calm in new situations. Your vet or vet nurse will be able to tell you how much your dog should be eating. If you give your dog an occasional treat or use treats for training, remember to take this into account and reduce their daily food allowance. You should try to feed your dog at the same time every day to get them into a routine. Remember to leave a gap after eating and before exercising. Beware unusually cheap puppies as they could come from a puppy farm. These breeders must do extra health tests and meet higher standards for breeding. See our advice on what you need to know about flat faced pets and how to choose a healthier pedigree pet. Set-up costs Puppy vaccines — if you rescue a dog, some centres will vaccinate them for you. Remember that ongoing booster vaccinations will be needed to continue their immunity. Neutering — you should usually arrange for your dog to be neutered at around six months old, though your vet will be able to advise you exactly when is best. Check prices at your local practice as these will depend on your vet and where you live. Some rescue centres will have already neutered the dogs they rehome where appropriate. Equipment — including a collar and tags, lead, harness, dog beds, dog bowls, pet-safe toothpaste and toothbrushes, grooming brushes and toys. Keep in mind that all these will need to be replaced with wear or if your dog outgrows them! Ongoing costs Food. Preventive healthcare — budget for routine vet visits to help stop your dog getting ill and catching any problems early. They need annual check-ups, vaccinations and regular flea and worming treatments. Check if your vet offers a health care plan as this can help spread the cost throughout the year. Accessories — including lots of poo bags, replacing worn toys and grooming accessories, buying doggy toothpaste and any other extras they might need. Other costs Training — basic training is very important and dogs can benefit from formal classes. Some dogs may have, or develop, behavioural problems which might need professional management. Boarding — you may also need to budget for boarding or dog sitting costs if you are planning to go away from home on holiday. If you are having difficulty with veterinary costs, you can check if you are eligible for treatment at PDSA here. A group of Pugs is called a grumble! Pugs are an ancient breed, dating back to Ancient China where they were bred for Emperors. Pugs were bred to be companions, which is why they love people so much. Getting a Pug Do plenty of research before you get a Pug. Although they are loveable and friendly, they are sadly likely to get a lot of health issues more so than many other breeds. Rehoming centres There are plenty of rescue centres across the country where you may find a Pug. Breed-specific rescues specialising in Pugs are out there too. Good rescue centres should let you know of any existing health and behaviour problems. Breeders If you buy from a breeder, make sure your puppy will have been well socialised and have all necessary health checks and vaccinations. We recommend looking for a Kennel Club Assured breeder as they meet higher standards. Not sure if a Pug is the right pet for you? Allergic skin disorder x 5. Pugs are often considered to have a very gentle temperament, and this is supported by the study which showed very low levels of aggression in the breed. While this may make the Pug a good family pet from a human perspective, owners also need to consider the quality of life that the dog endures. Although these results provide evidence for some positive aspects of Pug health, they sadly highlight the Pug overall has substantially poorer health than non-Pugs. The findings suggest that many Pugs may suffer from seriously compromised health and welfare because of the extreme body shape that humanity expects of this breed. To correct this, the body shape of Pugs must shift towards a more moderate, and less extreme, conformation if we are to reduce these health and welfare issues for Pugs in the UK. It is time now that we focus on the health of the dog rather than the whims of the owner when we are choosing what type of dog to own. Widespread ownership of Pugs with extreme facial and body conformations should be discouraged until measures are in place to ensure stricter and more acceptable breed standards. These findings will also play a vital part in continuing to develop ways to encourage would-be owners to do their research and to help them understand the potential health and welfare issues that badly bred Pugs can face. We aim to curb the increasing numbers of rogue breeders, who are outside of any sphere of influence and are producing dogs with no regard for welfare and continue to urge would-be owners and breeders to think carefully about any breeding or buying decisions when it comes to Pugs, and make use of health testing, evidence-based resources and expert advice available on The Kennel Club website. Vet teams see pugs with these distressing health problems — from breathing difficulties to eye ulcers and painful spine abnormalities - in veterinary practices across the UK on a daily basis. While these extreme, unhealthy characteristics remain, we will continue to strongly recommend potential owners do not buy brachycephalic breeds such as pugs. Pug Dog Health Overview The majority of the health issues seen with this breed are linked to the Pug's body structure. There are conditions to be aware of and steps you can take to keep your Pug as healthy as possible. This section will cover: Signs of a Possible Health Issue - Clinical signs and red flags that point to a possible health issue. List of Most Reported Health Issues - From a comprehensive study involving 2, owners of Pug puppies and dogs, the most reported issues. General Health Issues Seen with Pugs - Some of the most common yet troubling health concerns for all breeds including the Pug. This includes allergies, dental issues, ear, eye and skin issues, and stomach problems. Pug Breed-Specific Health Issues, Respiratory-related - This includes BOAS, stenotic nares, elongated soft palate, tracheal issues, everted laryngeal saccules, and general breathing problems related to environmental or care aspects. Health Tips - A summary of the top 6 things you can do to help your Pug stay healthy and live a long life. Signs of a Possible Health Issue If you are looking at Pug puppies to potentially bring one into your home and are trying to determine if they are healthy or are not sure if your Pug of any age is feeling well, there are some general guidelines that point to good health and warning flags that indicate something may be wrong. Fever: Though a dog can certainly be ill without a fever, checking body temperature is an effective method of helping to determine if Pug is fighting some type of infection or is suffering from heat stress. Newborn puppies have lower temperatures than their adult counterparts, ranging from about 96 to 97 degrees Fahrenheit .By the age of 4-weeks old, body temperature is up to about F .Then, by the age of 8 weeks and for the rest of a dog's life, normal body temperature is between and .The most accurate method of taking a dog's temperature is to use a pet rectal thermometer that is first lubricated with petroleum jelly. There are pet digital thermometers, but reliable ones can be quite pricey. Discharge: If you see unusual and excessive discharge from the ears, nose, or eyes this is a red flag. The most common health issue associated with this is allergies, though there are other possibilities as well. Ear discharge is linked to ear infections and excessive eye discharge is linked to eyelash or eyelid abnormalities and certain eye infections. Odor: Healthy dogs have a neutral smell and a slight 'doggie odor' if the coat gets wet in a way that does not involve cleansing products, like getting wet from the rain. Any strong odd odor is a red flag. Smells from the mouth can indicate dental issues, smells from the ears can indicate an ear infection, and smells from the facial area wrinkles or an all-over body odor can indicate bacterial or skin yeast infections. Increased breathing issues: It will be normal for your Pug to pant a bit in hot weather or when exercising and some can have a certain level of noisy breathing even when at rest. This is typically due to one or more of the common issues seen with Pugs including elongated soft palate and stenotic nares, both which may need surgical correction and are explored ahead. With this breed, there can be a fine line between providing enough activity to promote good health and overexertion. If your Pug is panting very heavy, making loud wheezing noises or is seemingly struggling to breath normally, this should not be overlooked. Changes in mobility: This includes a slower gait, limping, trouble rising up, sitting at an odd angle, or holding a limb in an usual way. These changes can indicate something as simple as a strained ligament to something as serious as hip dysplasia or other joint abnormality. With Pugs over the age of 6 or with those that have had past joint or bone issues, these changes can point to osteoarthritis. General vs Breed-Specific Health Issues Dogs in general are prone to certain health issues just as humans are; these are often those related to environment, food intake, and care. With Pugs, the main physical traits connected to health issues include: The Pug is among a group of breeds that are brachycephalic. This refers to a head shape with a compressed jaw, a short muzzle, and a compact skull. This profile consequently causes the upper respiratory system to be compressed which can lead to breathing-related issues. Loose fur and lots of facial wrinkles make the Pug prone to skin issues including bacterial and yeast skin infections. Next, we will cover the most common general and breed-specific health issues that owners of Pugs should know about. Of course, this does not mean that your Pug will be affected by these. Pugs can have a variety of allergies including airborne grasses, pollen, etc. Allergies can often be reduced by making changes to a Pug's environment, limiting exposure, and the use of over-the-counter allergy treatments including specialty shampoos and anti-itch topical sprays. In some cases, prescribed medications may need to be given. Read more about Pug Dog Allergies. Dental Issues Without proper care and upkeep, Pugs can develop tooth decay and periodontal disease. Infections can be localized or they can travel up to the sinuses or even lead to full-body infection, also known as sepsis, a potentially life-threatening condition. Taking care of the teeth is something that should start when a Pug is a pup and continue on through the dog's entire life. Read more about Pug Dental Care. Ear Infections Ear infections are one of the most common health issues seen with all dog breeds and with dogs of all ages. Breeds like the Pug that have drop ears rose or button fold-over in which the ear canal is fully or partial covered are more prone to this than breeds with erect stand-up ears. Keeping the ears clean of excess wax, debris and moisture plays a big role in helping to prevent ear infections. Read more about Pug Dog Ears for information regarding ear set, ear care, and infection prevention. Eye Issues Canines in general can have a wide range of eye-related issues and disorders. In addition to those, breeds like the Pug that have large and somewhat protruding eyes are prone to certain eye issues. Top issues that affect Pugs include pigmentary keratitis, cherry eye, inflammation, keratoconjunctivitis sicca dry eye , corneal abrasions and ulcerations, entropion inverted or folded-in eyelid , distichiasis eyelash es will grow in an odd place , and cataracts mostly seen with seniors. Skin Issues Common skin issues seen with Pugs includes itching, hot spots, and rash, sometimes seen alongside a strong odor. The cause behind these problems may be linked to allergies or a skin infection due to bacteria or yeast. Read more about Pug Dog Skin Issues which covers a wide range of signs and symptoms. Or, read more about Pug Dog Itching which helps owners determine the cause and covers options for giving a Pug immediate relief. Stomach and Intestinal Issues There are lots of things that can cause a Pug to have an upset stomach or a disturbance in bowel movements, ranging from ingestion of table scraps with a high fat content to ingestion of toxins, though an acute bacterial issue or virus are also possibilities. Long-term stomach issues are often related to a dog's diet. Bloat, which is a dangerous twisting of the stomach, is linked to rapid ingestion of food and exercising too close to meal time. Learn how to prevent this, common symptoms, and how to react if you suspect this. Pug Dog Constipation - This refers to very hard or very infrequent bowel movements. Most cases can be treated at home but severe cases or those that do not respond to home remedies must be treated by the veterinarian. Pug Dog Diarrhea - This refers to very frequent or loose stools and needs to be addressed as soon as possible since it can lead to dangerous dehydration. Pug Dog Gas - Excess gas can cause burping or flatulence which may not only be stinky but also uncomfortable for a Pug. Pug Breed-Specific Health Issues, Respiratory-related Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome BOAS This is a combination of two or more conditions, and in some cases secondary conditions, that affects the breathing passages and therefore a Pug's ability to breathe. The four main conditions are: Stenotic nares. Elongated soft palate; The palate flap of skin at the back of the throat is too long, partially blocking the entrance to the trachea windpipe. Trachea issues. This includes hypoplastic trachea abnormal growth of the cartilage rings that make up the trachea windpipe is which the airway is abnormally narrow and collapsed trachea a weakening of the cartilage rings which leads to one or more of them collapsing inward which blocks the trachea windpipe to varying extents. Everted laryngeal saccules. Tissue located in front of the vocal cords is pulled into the trachea windpipe , causing a partial blockage. This is not seen as often as stenotic nares, elongated soft palate, and trachea issues. Secondary conditions include laryngeal voice box collapse and tonsillar eversion and hypertrophy. BOAS is very common with Pugs. Read more about Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome with Pugs or continue on to learn about each of the conditions seen with this. Also known as pinched nostrils, stenotic nares involves abnormally narrow nostrils that cause a dog to have trouble breathing. Over time, internal pressure can build up, affecting the larynx and lead to larynx collapse which is a very dangerous and often fatal condition. Stenotic nares is a congenital issue, meaning that it is present at birth, but noticeable symptoms may not appear for several years. Signs include noisy breathing, exercise intolerance, and snoring. Minor cases are treated with the use of a harness as opposed to a collar and careful attention paid to exercise limits. Moderate to severe cases are treated surgically. Read more about Pug Dog Stenotic Nares. Elongated Soft Palate This is a condition seen with Pugs involving the palate which is a flap of tissue located at the back of the throat. Because Pugs have compressed internal passages, the palate is often too large, comparatively speaking, and therefore partially blocks the entrance to the trachea windpipe. This means that as a Pug inhales and exhales, the air cannot flow freely as it would otherwise. Elongated soft palate is a congenital issue, meaning that it is present at birth and symptoms may not always be noticeable right away but may worsen as a Pug matures. Signs include newborn pups dribbling milk from the nose, excessive panting, gagging or regurgitating food, snoring, excessive saliva, and exercise intolerance. Minor cases are treated with the use of a harness as opposed to a collar, careful attention paid to exercise limits, and encouraging better sleeping positions. Tracheal Issues - Hypoplastic and Collapsed Trachea Hypoplastic trachea an abnormally narrow trachea is seen more often with Pugs than collapsed trachea rings supporting the trachea collapse inward. Hypoplastic trachea is a congenital issue, meaning that it is present at birth and collapsed trachea can be genetic or acquired. Signs of either issue includes trouble eating gagging on or regurgitating food , noisy breathing gasping, rattling, or wheezing noises , coughing, gasping for breath, and exercise intolerance. With collapsed trachea, there is often a distinctive honking-type cough. Minor to moderate cases are treated with the use of a harness as opposed to a collar, careful attention paid to exercise limits, anti-inflammatory medication, and cough medication. Moderate to severe cases may be treated surgically, but this is an extensive and risky surgery. Read more about Pug Hypoplastic and Collapsed Trachea. With this, tissue near the vocal cords becomes everted inside out. When this occurs, that protruding tissue is drawn into the windpipe, blocking off proper airflow. This abnormality causes internal negative pressure that can put stress on the larynx which can cause eventual collapse, a severe and often fatal condition. Because everted laryngeal saccules is considered to be the first stage of laryngeal collapse, any moderate to severe cases are almost always treated with surgery. General Breathing Issues Though the issues that fall under the category of BOAS are seen with brachycephalic breeds like the Pug, it is not always the case that any of these are severe enough to be causing problems. And, Pugs can also have noisy or labored breathing that is not connected at all to these abnormalities. In some cases, it is a matter of over-exertion and in other cases it can be linked to environmental elements such as air quality or hot temperatures or care elements including the type of accessories placed on a Pug. To make sure you are doing all you can to help your Pug breathe as freely as possible, read more about Pug Breathing Issues. It is usually diagnosed by the age of 1 year and signs include abnormal gait, lameness, limping, odd stance, and discomfort. There are many non-surgical treatment options and surgery is reserved for severe cases. Read more about Pug Dog Elbow Dysplasia. Hip Issues - Hip Dysplasia and Legg-Calve-Perthes Pugs are very prone to hip dysplasia which refers to a malformation that causes an ill-fitting hip joint and socket typically seen with weakened support of connective tissues and muscles that creates instability. Signs include limping, holding the leg in an odd position, and mobility issues. Small-sized dog breeds, including the Pug, are prone to Legg-Calve-Perthes which is a degenerative disease of the head of the femur bone on the hind leg the ball that fits into the socket in the pelvis; which makes up the hip joint. With this, there is deterioration of the bone leading to sometimes serious mobility issues. Treatment for these two hip issues can involve certain exercises, OTC medications, supplements, and prescribed medications. Surgery is an option with severe cases. Read more about Pug Dog Hip Dysplasia including the high occurrence rate, age of onset, diagnosis, treatment options, and important prevention tips. Breed-Specific Health Issues, Other Pug Dog Encephalitis Pug Dog Encephalitis PDE falls under the category of necrotizing meningoencephalitis NME and is a neurological brain disorder that causes rapid onset swelling of the brain, death of brain cells, and unfortunately is fatal in all cases.

Health Tips There are things that you can do to help keep your Pug as healthy as possible: 1. Keep your Pug at a healthy weight. Pugs typically have very hearty appetites while not being built for long duration or high intensity physical activity, so this makes the Pug prone to weight gain. Carrying excess weight puts stress on this breed's short, stocky and barrel-shaped body with wear and tear on the knees, hips, and back and is a contributing factor in a range of health issues. Feed your Pug a healthy diet. Feeding your Pug all-natural and nutritious meals and snacks will help your dog maintain a healthy weight and will avoid issues commonly seen with substandard dog foods including allergic reactions. Exercise your Pug on a regular basis. Routine exercise helps helps regulate the metabolism, keeps supporting muscles strong, is great for heart health, and helps strengthen the immune system. In addition, staying physically active is a boost for mental health as well; dogs that are able to release pent-up energy in a positive way are less prone to boredom and negative behaviors such as barking and destructive chewing. Follow exercise guidelines to ensure your Pug is active enough while avoiding heat stress and breathing issues. Regular grooming. Staying on track in regard to all grooming elements including cleaning the facial wrinkles, eye area, and ears and bathing your Pug on time while using high-quality products can help avoid skin yeast infections which are common with this breed. Keeping your Pug's teeth clean and free from plaque build-up will help avoid painful infections and possible tooth loss. Make and keep veterinary wellness checks. Starting at age 1, Pugs should be seen by the vet once a year for routine checks which include a physical examination, blood, urine, and stool testing, breathing assessment, and more. Starting around age 8, these checkups are usually needed twice per year. Always use a harness, not a collar. This brachycephalic breed that is already prone to breathing-related issues should never be walked using a leash and collar which puts pressure on the trachea; always place a harness on your Pug instead which distributes stress over the much stronger shoulders, back, and chest.

In addition, .However, pugs were found to have a reduced risk for seven disorders, including heart murmurs, wounds and aggression compared to other dog breeds. But ultimately the study found that pugs' predisposition to disease significantly outweighed their disease protections. It concluded that pugs have critical health challenges and that the "highly differing heath profiles between Pugs and other dogs in the UK suggest that the Pug has diverged substantially from mainstream dog breeds and can no longer be considered as a typical dog from a health perspective. And they're just as popular across the pond. The American Kennel Club currently lists them as the 28th most popular dog breed out of breeds in the U. But experts warn dog-lovers of the increased health issues brachycephalic breeds like pugs, French bulldogs and English bulldogs experience, and say to consider the health of the animal when looking for a new furry friend. Earlier this year, Norway went so far as to ban the breeding of certain dogs, including English bulldogs and cavalier King Charles spaniels, for health reasons after an animal rights group petitioned an Oslo court, according to USA Today.

Daily exercise also helps your Pug to stay healthy, but be sure not to overdo it — just a little each day is enough. Respiratory Issues Brachycephalic Airway Obstruction Syndrome BAOS occurs in dogs like Pugs with a reduced skull length, and results from excess soft tissue in their airways which may obstruct airflow. Symptoms can include your dog gasping for air and struggling to breathe during even moderate amounts of exercise. Surgery can sometimes be required; however, the impact of this condition may be reduced by keeping your pug cool in hot weather, avoiding excessive exercise, providing lots of fresh water, and keeping your dog at a healthy weight. Eye Problems The bulging eyes of pugs are unfortunately prone to several serious eye issues which can cause chronic irritation and pain. With their large eyes, Pugs are at a high risk of accidentally damaging their eyes by running into obstacles. Symptoms of other eye issues include bumping into furniture and other objects, a discoloured eye discharge, weeping eyes, discoloured spots on the eye, and any unusual appearances in or around the eye. Skin Disorders Pugs are prone to allergies that cause itchy skin. In addition, their wrinkled folds of skin can trap dirt and moisture, providing an inviting place for bacterial skin infections Pyoderma to develop. Pyoderma is a bacterial infection with topical symptoms such as pimples, small red bumps, and blisters filled with blood. It usually occurs near the lips, feet and skin folds in Pugs. Bone and Joint Problems Pugs have small legs that support a sturdy body, and this unique musculoskeletal structure predisposes them to bone and joint problems. Luxating Patella is a condition that causes the knee to become dislocated.

The changing face of pugs Records of pugs in the past show they had a longer nose and longer legs. Selective breeding has accentuated the childlike facial features, shortening the nose and skull to produce prominent eyes 1. The short muzzle, undershot mouth top jaw shorter than the bottom and curled tail are now included in the Kennel Club breed standard. Unfortunately, these characteristics lead to health problems. A book reviewing the diseases prevalent in different dog breeds identifies 25 disorders over-represented in the pug 2. The Kennel Club classify pugs as Category 3 for health and welfare issues — this is the highest risk category. There are breeders and pug enthusiasts who are working hard to improve pug health. The Kennel Club have introduced a health scheme originated by the Pug Breed Council to health screen pugs prior to mating. As breeding pugs is a lucrative business, not all breeders are concerned with the welfare of the dog but breed for profit. Therefore, many pugs offered for sale in the UK have debilitating health conditions which significantly impact their quality of life. The PDSA, a charity who treat animals belonging to owners with low incomes, strongly recommend buying a different breed or only considering pug crosses. In the rest of this article, we will consider the most common health concerns. BOAS Dog breeds with short noses are called brachycephalics. This means that it is difficult for them to breathe. Shortening the skull results in excess tissue in the airway. A long soft palate, large tonsils and a swollen larynx all obstruct the airway. This is exacerbated by narrow, closed or slit-like nostrils. The result is limited airflow to the lungs. If you have ever tried to breathe with a heavy cold and sore throat, you can sympathise with how affected dogs feel all the time. Depending on the severity of the obstruction dogs may breathe noisily at rest or exercise, pant constantly or only when playing or walking. Often these dogs cannot cool themselves down in hot weather and are prone to heat stroke. As many struggle to breathe and swallow simultaneously, they have difficulty eating and may regurgitate food or saliva frequently. Big eyes The prominent eyes of the pug mean that tear flow may be insufficient to lubricate the eye. This can result in dry eyes which are prone to painful ulceration by trauma or infection. Constant irritation of the cornea surface of the eye often results in pigment laid down in the eye obscuring vision pigmentary keratopathy. Shallow eye sockets mean that eyes may be more likely to prolapse pop out with trauma or play. Both these conditions can lead to loss of an eye. Eyelid abnormalities entropion and ectropion can occur and constantly irritate the cornea. It is usually fatal. Most cases occur between the ages of but it can present from 6 months to 6 years of age. The disease can progress from depression. It is inherited and even crossbreds with one pug parent can suffer from PDE. Spinal problems Pugs are prone to spinal disease caused by hemivertebrae. The gene that codes for the coils in the tail also causes abnormally shaped vertebrae in other areas of the spine, these are often called hemivertebrae 3. These vertebrae can put pressure on the spinal cord within causing chronic back pain, and sometimes paralysis and incontinence. Severely affected dogs require spinal surgery to remove the pressure on the spinal cord. Many pugs are affected, x-ray or scanning is required to diagnose this cause of chronic pain. Lameness Pugs are prone to lameness due to luxating patellae dislocated kneecaps. This means that their kneecaps do not run smoothly within a ridge but slip out, become stuck and stop the hindleg bending. There are 4 grades of patella luxation; in the mild forms the dog may have a loose kneecap that intermittently moves. The more severe grades can result in permanent lameness and require orthopaedic surgery to correct. Skin disease Excessive skin folds can become problematic for pugs as dermatitis is common if they become moist or chafe. Bacteria and yeast love living in skin folds. Keeping them clean and dry can be difficult. Tooth overcrowding is also common because of the short nose and undershot jaw. Dental care must be meticulous as plaque and tartar build-up can be worse on overcrowded teeth leading to periodontal disease. These are some of the most common pug disorders. Often these conditions are exacerbated by obesity. Pugs are not bred as working dogs, nor do they have a strong prey drive so they can be less active than other dogs. They also have a large appetite, and some are unable to exercise because of breathing difficulties. These two factors can result in obesity , which will make lameness and spinal disease worse. The disease profile of the pug means that insurance premiums are very high. Do not be tempted by cheaper prices, pugs are often victims of inappropriate breeding, puppy smuggling and puppy farming. These pups and their parents often suffer from owners putting profit being welfare. Always insist on seeing the mother and visiting the pups rather than having one delivered. Find a breeder who uses the Kennel Club Assured Breeders Scheme, their dogs will have had a respiratory function test, genetic testing for PDE and may have been x-rayed to check for hemivertebrae before breeding. Choose a lively pup with open, round nostrils. Buy from a breeder who exercises their dogs regularly and has fit, slim healthy dogs. Covering personality traits, real-life costs and obviously the major upsides too. Finally, consider a pug cross to enjoy the wonderful temperament but reduce the problems caused by their conformation. You may also e be interested in;.

What is a Cream Poodle? A cream color Poodle is a specific color variation within the Poodle breed. While there are many different colors that Poodles can come in, the cream is a popular and desirable option for many owners. Cream Poodles have a light, soft color that ranges from off-white to pale beige. One key difference between cream Poodles and other colors is that they have black noses, not brown.

Their fur is naturally curly and dense, making it hypoallergenic and ideal for individuals who suffer from allergies. They come in three different sizes: Standard, Miniature, and Toy. Each size has characteristics and traits that make them an excellent fit for other households. Cream Poodle Variations Come with me as we unpack the different size variations of the cream Poodle.

While some believe that it is the result of a natural genetic mutation, others suggest that breeders selectively bred Poodles to achieve the cream color. Unraveling the Mystery of the Cream Color in Poodles One theory is that the cream color in Poodles originated from a genetic mutation that occurred naturally. This theory suggests that the mutation happened in the gene responsible for producing eumelanin, which is responsible for black and brown pigments. This mutation resulted in the production of pheomelanin, which produces yellow and red pigments, resulting in the cream color. All different variations in color are created by these two pigments, which are both forms of melanin. This involved crossing Poodles with other breeds that produced lighter-colored offspring, such as the Bichon Frise or Maltese. Over time, this breeding resulted in the cream-colored Poodle that we know today. Regardless of its origin, the cream color is a highly desirable trait in Poodles. The coat is typically curly and dense, with a soft and silky texture. While the origin of the cream color in Poodles is still a topic of debate among experts, it is clear that it is a highly desirable trait in the breed. Chinchilla is said to have no noticeable effect on eumelanin, but reduces the color to cream in dogs that would otherwise be tan, apricot or yellow golden.

Some people believe they are rare, while others argue they are simply a variation of the more common white, black, and brown Poodles.

Its coat is a soft, rich color, which may have some natural shading, especially a slightly darker feathering on the ears or tipping on the ruff. When properly groomed and brushed, the coat of a cream poodle is practically luminous. Poodles should be brushed frequently, at least every other day, to prevent their coat from getting matted or snarled. Their ears are particularly apt to need attention, as they frequently take dips into the food and water dishes! Hold the leather of the ear gently in one hand and brush the fur carefully with the other to avoid pulling. Use the same technique on the tail puff. Puppies under a year old should be shaved on the face, throat, feet and the base of the tail, with a pompon on the end of the tail. The face, throat, feet, base of the tail are shaved, as are the hindquarters, except for optional pompoms on the hips. The legs are shaved, leaving bracelets, and there is a pompom on the end of the tail. Because our puppies at Homestead Poodles are completely socialized, they are used to being handled and should be comfortable with grooming. Owners may want to learn how to clip their dogs, but at first, it is best left to a professional groomer. And remember to give your dog plenty of praise and admiration when he or she is freshly groomed. Poodles Info.
