Pug grooming
A Pug needs a professional groom every 6 to 10 weeks, and brushing at home two or three times a week. Don't shave it: the double coat keeps it cool. A full groom for a Pug with NogPets is from R380.
The coat
A short, smooth double coat.
- A professional groom
- Every 6 to 10 weeks.
- Brushing at home
- Two or three times a week.
- Shedding
- A lot, for a small dog.
- The usual style
- No cut. A bath, de-shed, nails, and the face folds cleaned and dried.
- Shaving
- Don't shave it. A double coat keeps them cool as well as warm, protects the skin from sun, and can grow back patchy. Brush out the loose undercoat instead.
