Because the Silver Fawn Silver fawn pug has a particularly individual face and body, it is recommended that your silver fawn pug’s eyes, nose, and facial skin should be examined and cared for on a daily basis, in addition to brushing your silver fawn pug every day when you have time.
Starting a daily routine checkup for your silver fawn pug as early as possible is beneficial and harmless. Not only can it help to detect and treat diseases early, but it also serves as an early basic training for your silver fawn pug, so that he/she can develop a good habit of being examined every day.
The daily routine should not last too long, not more than 10 minutes. This is because most dogs, especially puppies, get impatient with being fiddled with for too long without being able to ‘fight back’, and over time will become resistant to the check. What we do is to let them realize that routine inspection is actually a very good thing, smooth inspection should be given a certain reward, if they are very good, but also in the words of praise or with them to finish a little bit of their usual favorite games.
