Your Pug sneezes when they’re excited because it’s a quirky way they express themselves! Pugs (and other small breeds) often do what’s called a “play sneeze” when they’re happy, playful, or overstimulated. It’s their way of showing excitement and having fun—it’s totally normal and part of their adorable personality.
Their short noses and compact airways also make them more prone to sneezing in general. Excitement can cause a little extra airflow, leading to those funny sneezes.
If the sneezing seems excessive, comes with discharge, or is accompanied by other signs like coughing or difficulty breathing, it’s worth checking in with your vet. But if it only happens when they’re excited, it’s just another one of their cute Pug traits!
