1. Treat Strategy Puzzles

Pugs are very playful and intelligent. Channel their energy and curiosity into something positive with some fun and challenging treat-delivering puzzle toys. These games reward your pug for correctly opening the various compartments. Simply enter the treats and let the activity begin.

The OurPets IQ Treat Ball is a fun rendition of a slow feed bowl that promotes a healthy lifestyle for your pug. You can put a portion of your pug’s meal in the ball, only allowing them to eat what is dispensed when the ball is rolled. It can be filled with treats or kibble and set to a desired difficulty level using the ball’s adjustable interior disc. This toy promotes active feeding, giving your pugs the exercise they need and then rewarding them for it.

The Trixie Dog Activity Board Strategy Game is sure to provide plenty of stimulation and fun for your pug. Your pug gets the treats by using different techniques for opening indentations. The game board comes with two cones and indentations with hinged lids and sliders. Just place the treats inside and their ready to play.

Outward Hound is one of our favorite dog brands. They have multiple interactive dog toys, but our pugs love the Outward Hound Kibble Drop Interactive Puzzle. This is a treat-seeking puzzle for your smarty pug! When treats are dropped into the top of the toy, they fall randomly into one of the four treat chambers covered by flaps. Your pug must determine which chamber the treat has fallen into and which flap to lift in order to retrieve the treat. Scent holes on the chambers assist in your pug's search for the reward!

2. Bones and Chews

Our pugs love to chew. It's an awesome activity to keep them busy and relieve excess energy. There are some great brands out there your pugs will love to open on Christmas morning. Here are our favorites.

Greenies are like pug gold. It's like that dream item you hope your kids love because it's good for them. And doggie, do they ever! The unique, delightfully chewy texture of Greenies Dog Treats cleans down to the gum line to help fight plaque and help fight tartar while freshening breath. Your pug will be crazed to sink their teeth into these chewy dog treats. Win, win!

We are also fans of Nylabones. Our pugs love to chew, and these things are always the go-to. Nylabone chew toys help establish proper chewing habits and relieve the causes of destructive chewing. Nylabone offers a variety of chew toys in all sizes and shapes to occupy both pug puppies and adults, satisfying their need to gnaw on something while diverting them from chewing on inappropriate items. They are infused with flavor and keep our pugs engaged with the chew, providing them with long-lasting enjoyment.

If you're looking for something 'real,' then try the Jack&Pup Premium Grade Roasted Meaty Beef Shin Bone Dog Treats. These dog treats are slowly roasted to perfection, then naturally smoked along with pieces of tendon and meat, to enhance its flavor and provide a hearty and savory meaty treat for your pug. The bones are full of delicious calcium rich marrow; guaranteed to satisfy even the most aggressive chewers. Your pug will be entertained for many hours, chewing away on these irresistible treats.

3. Comfy Beds

Oh sleepy pugs, oh sleepy pug, how beautiful is your snoring. Considering your little baby sleeps a good portion of her day away, why not treat them to the best snuggle zone available. We've provided our top list of style and function beds for your pug.

The water-resistant bottom layer provides extra defense against damage and stains to your upholstery. The three-sided memory foam filled bolster provides exceptional comfort for your pugs and protects furniture seat, back and arms. Their extra-long drape helps to protect the front of your furniture too.
