Your Pug gets overheated easily because of their brachycephalic (flat-faced) anatomy. Their short noses and narrow airways make it harder for them to cool down efficiently through panting, which is a dog’s primary way to regulate heat. Pugs are also prone to obesity, which can increase their risk of overheating. Hot weather, high humidity, or overexertion can quickly lead to heat stress or even heatstroke. To keep them safe, avoid outdoor activities during peak heat, ensure they have access to water and shade, and monitor for signs like excessive panting or lethargy. Always keep them cool and comfortable!
