What Vets Recommend to Save Your Pug's Health 🐾

March 18, 2026 | by The Perky Pet Advisor

If you own a Pug, you need to read this...

Because at this very moment, tens of thousands of Pugs across the country are quietly wearing down their hips, knees, and joints — one jump at a time.


And most of their owners have no idea it's happening.


If you've ever watched your Pug waddle a little stiffly, hesitate before hopping off the couch, or heard that little grunt when they land, and told yourself "he's just getting older" — you might be missing the real story.


Studies suggest that over 60% of Pugs develop some form of joint or hip issue by middle age, and much of it traces back to something as ordinary as jumping off furniture.

What Your Vet May Not Bring Up at a Regular Visit (Unless You Ask)

Pugs are one of the most joint-vulnerable small breeds on the planet. Their compact, muscular bodies sit on short legs — meaning every jump puts disproportionate force through their hips and knees.


Pugs are among the top breeds affected by hip dysplasia — estimated to impact roughly 60–70% of the breed.
 

Patellar luxation (slipping kneecaps) affects a significant percentage of small breeds, and Pugs are especially prone.
 

Every time your Pug leaps off a couch or bed, their joints absorb 3–5 times their body weight in landing force.
 

For a 20-pound Pug, that's up to 100 pounds of impact slamming through those tiny knees and hips — over and over, every single day.
 

Multiply that across a week: 150+ high-impact landings. Over a year? 8,000+ jarring hits to joints that were never built to take them.

Title

"By the time a Pug shows visible pain, the joint damage has usually been building for a long time."

Dr. Emily Carter, DVM, who focuses on small-breed orthopedic care, puts it plainly:

"Pugs hide discomfort remarkably well. By the time owners notice limping, stiffness, or reluctance to move, cartilage and joint tissue have often been deteriorating for months or years. 

 

Prevention isn't optional for this breed — it's essential. 

 

Once those joints are worn, we can manage the pain, but we can't turn back the clock."

PugRamp: Gentle Movement, Built for Pug Bodies

The idea behind PugRamp is refreshingly simple: replace jarring jumps with soft, gradual steps.
 

Instead of your Pug's full body weight crashing down through their hips and knees…
 

They walk down a curved, cushioned incline — with pressure spread evenly across all four paws.
 

The result?
 

✔ Zero shock through the hips and joints 

✔ Reduced strain on knees and spine 

✔ No high-impact landings 

✔ A natural, comfortable stride — the way Pugs are meant to move
