believe that many people like pugs. In the process of raising pugs, I believe that many people will care about its lifespan. In fact, a pug can live for about 13 to 14 years, but if the owner is not properly raised , Then pugs will be very short-lived. Generally short-lived pugs will have the following characteristics. I hope your pugs do not!
1, overweight
When raising pugs, the owner cannot continue to feed the pugs just because they can eat. This will easily lead to obesity in the pugs, and the life span of the obese pugs All are very short-lived.
Pugs will have many diseases when they reach old age, so the owner must control the food intake of the pugs!

2, abnormal defecation
A short-lived pug can also be judged by observing defecation, a healthy one Pugs defecate 1 to 2 times a day, while pugs 2 to 4 times a day.
If your pug can't reach this number and you are often constipated, the owner should pay attention to it. You must choose some easy-to-digest dog food for it, and feed it with probiotics to regulate the intestines!
3. Pugs who are often picky eaters
with a short lifespan are usually very picky eaters. They will not eat any nutritious meals given by their owners. They will only think about eating meat and other insufficiently nutritious foods, leading to malnutrition.
Breeding picky pugs must be cruel, take away hungry for a day or two if you don't eat them. In addition to feeding staple foods, fruits and vegetables should not be forgotten to feed, so that pugs will be more balanced and healthy!

A short-lived pug will have many parasites on its body, such as fleas and ticks. Once such a situation is discovered, the owner should quickly deworm the pugs both inside and outside. The longer the
is, the shorter the lifespan of the pug will be. Deworming must be done regularly, once a month outside the body and once every three months outside the body!
5. Pugs with too heavy tear marks should also pay attention to pugs with too heavy tear marks. Generally, if they eat too salty, the tear marks and hair loss of pugs will increase. If the owner does not control the pug’s salt absorption, it will be very Prone to problems, shorten its life.
When choosing dog food, you must look at the chloride content, which is the proportion of salt. The lowest standard is 0.45 for puppies and 0.09 for adult dogs. If you choose dog food according to this standard, you are not afraid that it will be too salty and the tears will disappear!
6, only love to sleep
If your pug only sleeps every day and will not go out for walks or exercise, then its life span will definitely be shortened. Pugs should exercise more so that their body will be healthier.
If your pug doesn't like to go out, the owner can guide him with dog treats, and the pugs who eat will also chase you away!
