Your Pug might have a strong doggy smell due to natural oils in their skin, but if the odor is excessive, it could indicate an issue. Pugs are prone to skin fold infections, so check their wrinkles for redness, moisture, or debris and clean them regularly with pet-safe wipes. Ear infections, dental problems, or even a poor diet can also cause bad odors. Bathe them every 4-6 weeks with a gentle, dog-friendly shampoo, but don’t overdo it, as it can dry their skin. If the smell persists despite good hygiene, consult your vet to rule out underlying issues like allergies, yeast infections, or other skin conditions.
