I have owned Pugs in the past, and I have learned that it's very common for these precious double-coated dogs, as well as many other small breeds, to have skin allergies. One of my Pugs scratched incessantly at the base of his tail, so much so that he lost his hair and developed a "hot spot," before I took him to the vet and learned that he had skin allergies. Don't make the same mistake of waiting and thinking it will get better - dogs that itchy are absolutely miserable and can think of nothing but their discomfort. Bathing with Aveeno or other oatmeal or medicated shampoo can help ease symptoms, but visit your veterinarian and try to find the cause. He may need to be on antihistamine medication such as Benadryl, or you may even need to change his diet to one that's hypoallergenic. If it turns out to be simply a case of dry skin, adding a small amount of fat to his diet (my dogs love bacon fat or corn oil) can help, along with using only very mild shampoo (e.g., the Aveeno as mentioned above). Good luck!

There are many causes why it scratches. It can be allergy, atopy, sarcoptes mange infection or seborrhea . You should go to the vet to have a correct diagnosis. It is hard to guess online. The vet has to see how the dermatitis looks like, may take a blood sample for allergy testing or do skin scraping to confirm skin parasites like mange mites. This is the only way to have a correct diagnosis and be treated properly. If you keep on guessing, it may turn out to be more expensive so better bring it to a vet.

Pugs tend to have very sensitive skin. The medication might have made his problem worse. You probably need to go to the vet and get a special shampoo and flea medication for animals with sensitive skin.

could be food allergies or contact dermititis.
most common food allergies are from the corn and cheap fillers in the food. corn or grain products are the biggest thing that cause food allergies.
any of ur grocery store food have cheap fillers and grain in them. The food u feed from the vet are the same way.
canidae, innova, solid gold, california natural, wellness, artimis, or **** van pattens food are a few real good dog foods with all natural ingrediants.

our vet advised that use sulfur soap if our dog scratches. maybe that would help. because it would dry the skin of your dog, at the same time killing the parasites. after being dried, use a gentle human shampoo to bring back its skin's life.

hi
pugs tend to get topical yeast or bacterial infections on their skin. It could also be lice or mange. Flea shampoo help with lice but mange needs a mediacation and if its dry skin put vitamin e oil on their food.
