Kibble she can pick up, and a portion she can't argue with.
Pugs are born hungry and stay that way. A Pug puppy will eat whatever is in front of her and then look for more, which is charming for about a fortnight and then becomes the single biggest health decision you'll make for her — an overweight Pug breathes worse, moves worse and lives less long.
Measured feeding starts now. Fat is held to 18% with protein at 29%, and the kibble is shaped for a jaw that has no muzzle to speak of and cannot grip a round biscuit. EPA and DHA at 0.3% support skin that lives in folds, betaglucans and prebiotics handle the immune and digestive side. She moves onto Pug Adult at eleven months.
Dehydrated poultry protein, rice, maize, animal fats, beet pulp, maize flour, vegetable protein isolate (L.I.P. — protein selected for its very high digestibility), maize gluten, hydrolysed animal proteins, fish oil, minerals, soya oil, fructo-oligo-saccharides (0.34%), hydrolysed yeast (source of manno-oligo-saccharides), yeast extracts (source of betaglucans), borage oil, marigold extract (source of lutein). Additives (per kg) — Nutritional additives: Vitamin A 29,500 IU · Vitamin D3 800 IU · Vitamin E 600 mg · E1 (Iron) 38 mg · E2 (Iodine) 3.8 mg · E4 (Copper) 12 mg · E5 (Manganese) 50 mg · E6 (Zinc) 135 mg · E8 (Selenium) 0.07 mg. Technological additives: Clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin 10 g. Sensory additives: Yucca extract 125 mg. Preservatives. Antioxidants.
Store in a cool, dry place, sealed. Use within six weeks of opening. Clean her nose fold and any deep wrinkles daily with a damp cloth and dry them properly, or they get sore and infected. Never walk her in the heat of the day and never leave her in a car — Pugs die of heatstroke more readily than almost any other breed. Keep her lean from the start; it's the one thing that most improves how she breathes.
