Pug Health Survey 2009

In 1998, PugCentral conducted an online Pug health survey to to try to determine the most common problems affecting the Pug as a breed. With the Internet now reaching MANY new Pug owners, we thought it time to run the survey again. We have expanded the poll to include general information as well as health information. Owners are encouraged to submit a separate form for each of the Pugs owned by them, whether they have problems or not.

Thank you very much for taking the time to submit this poll. It is not scientific, this format is not controlled enough for that, but we hope it will help us learn more about the state of the breed health-wise and to gather other information as well. Please only submit conditions that were diagnosed by a veterinarian or that you know for certain were experienced by your dog or dogs.
