To help your Pug with itchy skin, start by identifying the cause. Common triggers include allergies (to food, pollen, or dust), dry skin, fleas, or irritation from grooming products. Bathe them with a gentle, hypoallergenic dog shampoo and avoid over-bathing, which can dry their skin. Use a vet-approved flea prevention product and check for pests regularly. Add omega-3 fatty acids to their diet to improve skin health. Keep their wrinkles clean and dry to prevent irritation. If the itching persists, consult your vet to rule out infections, allergies, or underlying conditions and get tailored treatment.
