You can tell if your Pug is overweight by checking their body shape and weight. Stand over them and look for a waist—if they’re round with no visible tuck behind the ribs, they may be overweight. Gently feel their ribs; you should be able to feel them easily without pressing hard. If there’s a thick layer of fat, it’s a sign of excess weight. Overweight Pugs may also have reduced energy or struggle with breathing and mobility. Compare their weight to breed standards (typically 14-18 pounds). If you’re unsure, consult your vet, who can assess their body condition and recommend a diet and exercise plan if needed.
