Although pugs are little dogs, their activity requirements should not be disregarded due to their endearing nature and cute looks. It is crucial to exercise them adequately without overexerting them because of their distinctive structure, which includes small snouts and compact body.
A modest amount of daily exercise is usually beneficial for pugs. In most cases, keeping them active for 30–60 minutes should be enough to keep them content and healthy. It is essential, nevertheless, to tailor their workout program to considerations including age, health, and personal taste. While adult Pugs may enjoy longer, more leisurely walks, puppies may need shorter, more frequent spurts of playing to burn off all that excess energy.
You can keep your Pug from being bored and improve its health by doing a variety of things with it. Fun things to do with Pugs include going on short walks, playing fetch or tug-of-war, and participating in interactive play sessions. Keeping their brains active is just as vital as keeping them physically active, therefore it's a good idea to include things that challenge their thinking, such as training sessions and puzzle toys.
Pay close attention to their restrictions, particularly when it's hot or humid outside. Pugs are susceptible to heat stroke because their small nose and brachycephalic (short-nosed) shape make it harder for them to breathe in hot environments. Exercise them during cooler periods of the day and be sure to give them lots of water breaks since overexertion in hot temperatures may cause heatstroke.
Never ignore your Pug's signals. Reduce their activity level and provide them a cool, quiet place to relax if they seem exhausted, hot, or having trouble breathing comfortably. To keep your Pug in good health and to find out how much activity they require according to their age, weight, and any medical issues, it's necessary to take them to the vet often.
