Your Pug rubs their nose on the carpet for a few common reasons. It might be an itch caused by allergies, dry skin, or something stuck in their nose. Pugs are prone to skin fold irritation, so check their facial wrinkles for redness or debris and clean them gently. They may also be marking their scent or simply enjoying the texture of the carpet. If the rubbing is frequent or aggressive, it could indicate discomfort, like nasal irritation or an infection. Monitor for signs of redness, sneezing, or swelling, and consult your vet if it persists to rule out allergies or other underlying issues.
