Finding the best Pug food is super important for their health and wellbeing. A carefully balanced diet can help your Pug stay wriggly, playful, and just a little bit stubborn for years to come. At tails.com, every blend we make is tailor-made: we put everything we know about Pugs together with everything you tell us about yours, and create a special blend just for them.
Your Pug’s food needs careful calorie control
You may have noticed your Pug loves mealtimes (cue a cocked head, and those eyes that say ‘who, me?’). It means they tend to put on weight easily. And because Pugs have a tendency to carry extra weight, it can be hard to know what their ideal body condition is (watch our Head Vet Sean explain how to check your Pug’s body condition). Feeding a tailor-made blend from us makes it easy to stay on track, especially with the portion scoop, so you know your Pug is getting the right nutrients, in the right amount, with every mouthful.
Care for your Pug’s skin and coat
Pugs are often sensitive and prone to skin allergies, but keeping your dog’s skin and coat in its cuddliest condition is one of our priorities. So we’ll add the right balance of Omega 3 and 6 to your Pug’s diet to help with their coat. Omega 3 and good quality protein are also thought to help with shedding – which might be some consolation for your vacuum cleaner! We can create a recipe for your dog that doesn’t contain certain allergens. We’ve made it really easy for you in our nutritional consultation: just tick the boxes that describe your Pug's needs.
Gentle on sensitive stomachs
If your Pug is intolerant or allergic to common ingredients like soya, beef, dairy, eggs, and wheat – we know that lots of Pugs are – we can blend delicious hypoallergenic food that’s easy to digest and gentle on easily upset tummies. If you tell us your Pug has sensitive digestion we can add supportive ingredients like prebiotics or adjust fibre levels to help out.
Keeping Pugs’ teeth healthy
Feeding your Pug more dry food than wet, and adding a daily dental chew treat (like our Dental Dailies) every 24 hours can help slow down the buildup of plaque and calculus that happens over time. Want to help keep your dog’s teeth in great condition? Regular vet dental checks and a daily cleaning routine will really help - and if you’re not sure how to clean your dog’s teeth, watch our teeth cleaning video. Brushes at the ready!
