The Care of a Pug
Minimum requirement is brushing once or twice per week. When I groom my Pugs I pay more attention to their nose roll by using a baby wipe twice a day and to combat the moist nose roll that leads to a yeast infections I put desenex in the crevices of the nose roll. IF a yeast infection does occur please take them to the vet. Of course they must have their nails trimmed
