Japug Breed Maintenance
The Japug is a very easy dog to take care of. His short and smooth coat does not shed often and requires very little brushing to keep it healthy and clean. While the Japug does not have a bad doggy odor, bathing will need to occur every few weeks or when he is especially dirty, and the folds on his face will need to be cleaned out often. Because this breed can suffer from fold dermatitis, it is important to clean off the skin on his face carefully, so that no food or other substances can cause the skin to smell. Be sure to clean out the Japug's ears often as well. Because they are folded over, any extra moisture that is trapped inside can cause infection and irritation; but, if cleaned often these issues can be avoided. Besides brushing and bathing routines, remember to trim your dog's nails every few weeks or when they click against the floor. This will keep the paws healthy and snag free.
