Puggle Grooming Notes

Puggles are low-maintenance in the grooming department. Their short, smooth coat needs regular bathing and deshedding but no haircutting. The main grooming focus should be on facial wrinkles (inherited from the Pug side), which need cleaning and drying to prevent bacterial and yeast infections. Ears need regular cleaning since both parent breeds have floppy ears prone to infections. Nail trims every 3-4 weeks and dental care round out the grooming routine. Despite their short coat, Puggles shed more than you would expect — regular deshedding treatments help significantly.
