Instructions

      Feed your pug natural, organic dog food. Ensuring your pug has an all natural, well-balanced diet will help keep his skin and coat healthy, which will reduce shedding. You can also try a hypoallergenic dog food for your pug.

      Add a spoonful of olive or flaxseed oil to your pug's food. You should give your pug one spoonful a day, so only add the oil during one feeding. This will help keep his coat and skin healthy, which again, can reduce shedding.

      Brush your pug's coat regularly. The more you brush your pug, the less fur will need to be shed on its own.

      Give your pug a bath with shed-preventing shampoo once a month. The bath will get rid of loose fur, and the shampoo will help reduce future shedding.
