Pug questions?

Will it be okay if I make my pug wear Dog Sunglasses(http://www.bestfriendsgeneralstore.com/unique_dog_toys_c/402_Dogg/Doggles+Dog+Sunglasses) for a long time for the days when I'm out working? Will this protect his eyes or will it not be good for him? (Too dark, will worsen it's eye sight etc?)

If you can get your Pug to wear sunglasses ... I tried to get ours to wear those doggles ... Oh, yeah, that's them. I got ours from Drs. Foster and Smith website. They look basically the same. Ours don't like wearing them ... but I am still trying. It's a good idea trying to protect their eyes. I got them so their eyes could be protected while we were riding in the convertible bug ... pugbug.

You will need to watch your Pug outside. They aren't heat or cold tolerant. Pugs are prone to heat stroke if left outside too long and they can also catch colds. The best temps for outside is between 27/28 degrees to 73/74. You need to watch them when temps are between 15-27 degrees and also when the temps get to 74-80 ... anything below 15 degrees and above 80 degrees is really hazardous for them. Don't let them stay outside for longer than necessary at those temps.

There's not really a whole lot you can do for them with their breathing - other than paying attention to them while they're outside. If they start to get winded, rest for a while, give them water, put them in the shade or take them inside.

Here's a website dedicated to Pugs and their health problems. It can explain it in more detail ...
