Most Pugs lack the opportunity to roam a large backyard at will. They're more likely to spend the day indoors while their family members are away at work and school. This can make sticking to a potty training schedule more difficult.

It's true that Yorkies may make smaller messes but the size of the mess doesn't really affect the amount you are going to spend on cleaning up after your pup. Yorkies need to be trained in the same ways that a large dog would.

Heartworm is a particularly dangerous parasite that is spread from host to host via mosquitoes. A long thin worm known as filaris is commonly known to be found in dogs; many don't realize that they can also infect other animals such as sea lions, wolves, coyotes, ferrets, cats and shockingly, humans as well.

I informed him of this and his response was that they probably couldn't afford a better food.

Pet insurance definitely would have solved the problem. I confess - I had doubts about treating our dog some time ago when he was involved in an accident. The agony of making a decision like that is something I hope not to repeat. Medical science cannot cure everything, and pets are vulnerable too. Operations on animals can go wrong sometimes.
