Spotlight On A Breed The Pug

Pug
Weight: 14-30 pounds
Height: 9-11 inches at the shoulders
Coat: Short (but they do shed)
Color: Fawn, Black, Silver, Apricot
Appearance
The Pug’s appearance is characterized by their flat, wrinkled faces, compact muscular bodies, and curled tails.
Noise
While most Pugs do not bark much, many do, and they are still quite a noisy breed of dog. Many Pugs make a grunting nasal noise, that increases when they get excited, nearly all pugs snort quite often, almost as if they are sneezing, showering anyone who is too close. In addition, many of them have quite a snoring problem.
Temperament
The Pug is a popular breed as a house pet, as it is easy to groom (though it sheds substantially more than other dogs of similar size). However, pugs like to consider themselves as the boss. Therefore tiny children who do not understand how to correctly treat the pug can cause the pug to be scared, defensive, or shy. Pugs are true “lap dogs”, in that they most often want nothing more than to curl up in their owner’s lap. Pugs like most breeds also love dog chews like bully sticks to occupy them!
Health
Pugs can scratch their corneas (corneal ulcer) or puncture their eyeballs. Their short noses can also cause them to develop breathing problems. They are also prone to skin infections if the crevices in their faces are not kept clean. Additionally, the breed’s characteristic flat face may also contribute to tooth and mouth problem, they may have crowded teeth or a tongue that hangs out. Pugs typically love to eat, and so are prone to obesity; they can quickly reach unhealthy weights.

Plato Salmon and Chicken with Vegetables
Plato pet treats are our personal favorites for our own dogs because they are made in the US, some are organic, and they also have the appearance and consistency of extremely high quality product! This new release follows the same pattern of quality and we would have to say that they are our new favorite dog treats….
The ingredients list for both Chicken and Salmon is the same and it reads as follows:
Chicken or Salmon, Brown Rice, green peas, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, parsley, sea salt, zinc, calcium, vitamin e, vitamin c, and glucosamine!
It is truly refreshing to find this caliber of product still being made in the US and we are proud to be able to offer it to you! Please make sure to check out our other products from bully sticks to organic fish chews.

Odor Free Bully Sticks

Odor Free Bully Sticks
As we continue our quest to offer all natural dog chews and treats to all dog owners we are continuously asked the question about whether or not odor free bully sticks are a good feeding option. We have written about this a few times but want to reiterate that in order to have a meat product that is odorless it must be altered. The best meat products in the world are manufactured properly and still smell like meat products! Please consider this when choosing which bully sticks or other dog treats you decide to give your pets.
We have had several vendors of bully sticks approach us and offer to “add” ingredients to our bully sticks to make them odor free, but frankly we are proud to only offer an all natural free range South American product; just the way it is supposed to be. Companies use everything from bleach, to heavy enzyme regiments, to potassium to achieve a bully stick or other meat based treat which doesn’t smell like anything. We think that you and your pooch will enjoy our product offering more knowing that it is truly all natural.
Please check out our constantly growing catalog of dog chews and treats, and all types of other cool dog stuff!
