Pugs can get fat, so it's important to walk them and give them enough exercise. Be careful in the summer because they can't stand the heat (because of their breathing issues). And in the winter you should be careful too. Is she getting a rescue pug? I know Vermont has a pug rescue organization. Perhaps she can look into rescuing a pug. Oh, and pugs snort like little pigs (at least George does).
alot of pugs and other short haired dogs will shed heavy and have yeast infections in the ears and all if fed a food with high undigestable proteins and fats. I like Bil Jac but there are several... what does she feed them?
