How To Get A Dog Diaper To Stay On A Pug

Pug dog diaper that stays on

My senior pug has had recurring UTIโ€™s and occasionalย incontinence when she is fighting the infection. I recently shared how weโ€™ve tried dog diapers and baby diapers for pugs, and we shared which ones worked best for us. That post is called Are Dog Diapers Or Baby Diapers Best For Pugs? As youโ€™ll find out from that blog post, we definitely found that the size, style and fit of different diapers makes a difference in how long the diapers โ€ฆ Read the rest

Beans is 14 years old, and has been prone to urinary tract infections since we got her when she was 9 years old. Early on she only had 1 or 2 per year, and the last year or so, sheโ€™s had them almost non-stop. We have been working closely with our vet and are now trying hormone pills to hopefully assist. However, when she has UTIโ€™s she sometimes has accidents. Itโ€™s sad because โ€ฆ Read the rest

Trachea Collapse In Pugs

Before we ever got a pug, I had read that trachea collapse is common in pugs. I knew that pugs should wear harnesses instead of collars to avoid pressure in their neck area. Weโ€™ve always used harnesses with both of our pugs.

A couple months ago, my pug Beans started choking or gagging a bit while eating her food. We had started a new type of dog food, so I thought it โ€ฆ Read the rest

Arty Lobster Custom Pet Replicas

I was sent Pet Sculptures of my pugs from Arty Lobster. All opinions are my own.

Back around Christmas, I partnered with Arty Lobster on my other blog, to review their custom pet sculptures. You send in 5 to 10 photos of your pet, and Arty Lobster will use a 3D printer to create a 3D sculpture of your pet. When looking for products that are pug-related, they tend to feature very โ€œperfectโ€ looking, young pugs. Frank and Beans came โ€ฆ Read the rest

In response to my other pet hedgehog themed posts, I often get asked โ€˜can hedgehogs eat cat food?โ€™

The answer is yes, but please do not just run off to the store and buy any old cat food. Hedgehogs need a high protein and low fat diet. Some cat foods have a nutritional balance that is good for hedgehogs, but others donโ€™t. Many cheap cat-foods do not provide ideal nutrition for hedgehogs, because โ€ฆ Read the rest

Senior Pugs โ€“ The Difference Between 9 and 14 Years

Senior pugs the difference between age 9 and age 14

We got Frank and Beans about 4 years and 8 months ago. When we got them, we were told Frank was 8 and Beans was 9. That was in July, we donโ€™t know their birth months. So, by July they will be 13 and 14 years old. I knew when we got them, that age 7 is considered a senior in most breeds of dogs. So, they were already seniors, and now they are just older seniors, of course!

Why We Are Switching Vets

Iโ€™ve taken our pugs Frank and Beans to the same vet since we brought them home a little over 4 years ago. It was the vet that my mom took her pets to when I was a kid. It also was the same vet that my boyfriendโ€™s family had always used. It was run by an older veterinarian who had been in the same practice for many years. The building looks like a house, and is rather simple. I donโ€™t โ€ฆ Read the rest

Favorite Dog Brush For Pugs

There is an affiliate link in this post. I did not partner with either brand mentioned on this post. I was sent a furminator to review on my other blog a few years ago. I have no connection to the Kong brand.

When we first got or pugs I was surprised at how much they shed. My male pug has a very thick layer of fur around his neck and upper shoulders. His fur in that area is thick, and โ€ฆ Read the rest
