Pugs are notorious for farting, and it’s usually because of how their bodies are built and what they eat. Their flat faces (brachycephalic structure) cause them to gulp air when they eat or drink, which can lead to gas.
Diet is another big factor. Foods that are hard to digest, like those high in fat, fiber, or certain carbohydrates (like beans or dairy), can cause extra gas. If your Pug is eating too fast, that can also make things worse.
To reduce the stink, try feeding them a high-quality, easily digestible dog food, and consider using a slow feeder bowl to help them eat more calmly. Avoid table scraps and human food, which can upset their tummies. If the farting is excessive or accompanied by other symptoms like diarrhea or vomiting, it’s a good idea to check in with your vet.
