Your Pug may be the most happy-go-lucky dog at the dog park. He trots around with that Pug grin, happily sniffing butts and kicking dirt. Then BOOM a storm rolls in and that first clap of thunder sends him right into your arms, terrified, shaking, and bug-eyed. What's a Pug parent to do?
Pugs are fun dogs to live with, they are comical, personable, and a delight. But there is a sensitive side to these dogs, one that we must protect.
You may have tried compression garments and while they can be great, it can be an effort to get it on your Pug quickly. Putting one on a Pug would be like putting pantyhose on a drunk man (not that I ever actually put pantyhose on a drunk man). Medications that drug your Pug are a big no (unless there is no other option). Brachycephalic dogs should only be given drugs under veterinarian care and as sparingly as possible due to breathing risks. A more natural path is best for our flat-faced dogs. Relax Dog Aromatherapy uses a gentle custom blend of safe essential oils to calm and relax your Pug.
