When it comes to bathing, pugs only need to bathe at least once a month. Furthermore, you only need to brush their coat at least once a week and trim the pug’s nails every 2 months.
Typically, pugs weigh approximately 14 to 18 pounds, both male and female, growing as tall as 10 to 14 inches at the shoulder. In some unusual cases, pugs can be as heavy as 38 pounds. However, this only occurs if they have a strong appetite, or if the owner intentionally overfeeds them.
The average life expectancy of a pug is around 12 and 15 years, but most pugs die prematurely due to improper care. Moreover, the average male pug lives about 12.8 years while female pugs have an average life span of 13.2 years.
