When it comes to energy levels, Pugs are laid-back little characters. With a calm energy level of 2, they enjoy short play sessions and casual strolls, but are also happy to snuggle up on the couch after a fun day. Their apartment-friendly disposition means they adapt well to smaller living spaces, so whether you reside in a cozy apartment or a larger house, a Pug will fit right in—with enough love and attention, they’ll be content in any environment. Regular light exercise is key to keeping them healthy and happy, but they don’t require extensive workouts.
Grooming your Pug is a breeze; a gentle brushing once a month will keep their coat looking shiny and neat, as they have a low shedding level. Their charming wrinkly face may require occasional cleaning to keep their folds free of dirt or moisture, but overall, they’re low-maintenance when it comes to grooming. Training may take a bit of patience due to their moderate trainability, but their intelligence and eagerness to please will shine through, especially with positive reinforcement techniques.
While Pugs are generally healthy, your future furry friend may be susceptible to certain health considerations due to their distinctive features. Regular vet check-ups and a balanced diet will greatly enhance their well-being throughout their lives. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to one of these joyful little companions, a Pug could be the loveable bundle of joy that you’ve been searching for!

Living with a Pug
Temperament & Family Fit
Pugs are known for their charming and affectionate nature, making them wonderful companions for families. Their gentle demeanor means they do exceptionally well with young kids, and they often form strong bonds with other pets, including dogs and cats. This breed thrives in a loving home environment, where their playful spirit can shine!
Energy & Exercise
With a moderate energy level, pugs are content with a good mix of playtime and relaxation. While they enjoy a daily walk or two, they are also perfectly happy lounging around the house, making them ideal for apartment living. Just keep an eye on their weight and make sure they get enough activity to maintain their health!
Care & Grooming
Pugs are low-maintenance in many ways, especially when it comes to grooming, as they only need a bath about once a month. Their short coat sheds minimally but does require a little brushing to keep it looking its best. Regular fat checks and maintaining their facial wrinkles will help keep your pug feeling comfortable and healthy.
Training Notes
Training a pug can be a delightful experience, as they generally show an eagerness to please. Their moderate trainability means consistency and positive reinforcement work wonders when teaching them commands. Though they have a barking tendency, with proper guidance, they can learn to communicate more effectively without excessive yapping!

If a Pug is the dog you have in mind, Fort Myers is a great place to raise one. Most adult Pugs weigh between 14 and 18 pounds, an easy size for nearly any home. A Pug is happiest wherever its family is, which makes it a great match for retirees and busy households alike.
For Fort Myers families, that works out well, because Pugs are happy with an evening walk along the River District riverfront and plenty of couch time afterward. They settle in nicely in riverfront condos and suburban homes.
Waggles Puppy Boutique is about 40 minutes north on Interstate 75, and every Pug we sell has a licensed vet exam, age appropriate vaccinations and a lifetime microchip. Stop by any day from 10am to 8pm to meet the Pugs we have available.
