Thank you for rescuing her! Right now she needs a lot of love and affection and walking, then training. She is probably afraid of crates if she came from a bad breeder that had them in crates all the time. You shouldn't potty train in a crate, that is where they should learn to not go potty. Take her outside to potty every hour or so if possible, she will get used to it. She needs to be socialized and rehabilitated now. Feed her from your hand a little at first and then transfer it to a bowl that doesn't make noise . She will learn that it won't harm her and when hungry enough she will eat. It may take a couple of days but she will. Good luck!! I also adopted a pug from a pug society, they are wonderful.

No, you don't need any special type of food bowl. I just use two cermaic dog bowls and wash them regularly. Just make sure they aren't too tall or too far off the ground otherwise your pug won't be able to reach the food and water.
Pugs love to eat and they will find a way to get to the food no matter what kind of bowls you get.

My sister raises pugs and she uses dry Pedigree puppy food in shallow doggie bowls. Puppy foods are smaller bites and there are many generic brands available.

you want to stick to foods with smaller kibble size (usually labeled "small bites") because of his little mouth. If you want to get really specialized, Royal Canin makes an all-natural food made especially for pugs! It's only an adult formula, but their puppy formula is a "small bites" food, and is a great, healthy choice.

Dont know where you heard that from. If the pug is still a puppy, it will just get accustom to eating out of any bowl. did you lower the level in your towelette bowl too so that he doesnt drown? J/K.

I don't think so. Except that he might be more affected by allergies if he gets them. LOTS of dogs have undiagnosed food allergies. I'd start by feeding a food with no corn, grain, or animal byproducts.
We feed a food called EVO, which is a bit expensive, but FANTASTIC food.

Raised slightly from the ground. Promotes better digestion, and decreases strain on the neck.
