would this be suitable for a pug? Wanted to ask as I'm not sure if the short nose might be a problem?

I would say yes! We have a Cocker Spaniel and a Boxer.. and they both do great with it. They don't really use their noses at all, it's more their tongues. They have slowed down on their eating a ton and they actually seem to be enjoying dinner time now. I highly recommend.

I think a pug, or any other dog with a shorter nose, would have a difficult time eating from this bowl.

I'm not sure if it would be a problem for pugs. He would need to use his tongue to help get the food. There may be another style that works better. My corgi does well with it, it was a lifesaver while he was on prednisone, but he is not short nosed.

I'm in the - not sure camp. I have Chihuahua's with various snout/muzzle sizes. It is definitely harder for the shorter muzzle Chi's. Part also depends on food motivation & obliviously a longer tongue does help. BTW, I have the flower bowl. I've also bought the Nina Ottosson dog toys (tornado, the brick & dogmagic) & used them at meal time to slow eating. In some ways I like those better because it makes my dog work for their food.

I believe this would work great for any dog, mite even be lil better for a pug so he can get his face closer. Lol

I would say yes. The grooves are at most an inch deep, and our lab mix really only uses her tongue.

The product is specified as Medium size, Measures at: 13.5'' Height X 7.5'' Width X 6.5'' Depth.Measure your lil pooch from head end (not tail end). If I recall there is an opening for their tail. Hopefully he/she will fit. "Good luck."I had one for my Pug pup and used it when biking. It was a head turner! Great product!

Hi there! We've had pugs previously and they are amazing! I wouldn't recommend this for pugs. I would probably try a slow feeder that is a little more open. Maybe the Eat Slow Bowl by Greedy Pup, which is also sold on Amazon. Hope this helps.

My pit has a snout a little longer than a pug and it took her a few minutes just to get a piece. If your willing to try it, though, I would go with the smaller size.

I have two pugs - one 18lbs and another 11lbs. They can both fit comfortable in the stroller. Hope this helps.

I have a 12lb Yorkie and he was just too big for the small, so we exchanged it for the medium. The medium is a little big, but comfortable for him with all of the adjustments on the tightest setting. I would say a 20lb pug should fit since the straps adjust pretty wide. I will add though, my 12 pounder gets heavy on my back and shoulders after a while, so I'm not sure how comfortable this would really be on your back at 20lbs. If they're a senior and can't do long walks but still likes to go, have you considered the dog strollers? That might be more comfortable for you and him.

I used this with our 100 pound giant wooly Alaskan Malamute (very thick fur) that went through hip dysplasia surgery so the shape should be fine and I did not have to crouch to walk my dog but his is tall compared to an English bulldog, but I still don't believe you would have any problems walking with your dog.

I have 2 pugs each about 20 lbs and they both fit just fine ..... they love it

My Cavachon is about 21-22 lbs. She likes this size because she feels nestled. She's a rescue and likes to feel secure. She also hangs her head over the side while sleeping. If you feel you pug needs stretch room then larger would be better. Bridget curls up in it and there's still some room for a toy or two.

The small should be fine for your pug. I have a lg. Jack Russell (19)lbs. and two cats. They seem to drink more water.

It barely fits my 12 lb. pug. The legs come out of those four holes you can see on the front. The front is mesh (where the leg holes are). The back is slightly padded material that seems like nylon. The shoulder straps are narrow and not padded, but sturdy.

I wouldn't recommend this for a dwarf. I have a mini lop (averaging 5-10 pounds) and it is just small enough. A dwarf would more likely fit in a guinea pig leash/harness as their weight and build are similar!

I carry my 20 lb pug in mine without difficulties, though of course it's a workout for your whole body, not just your upper body but also your core, back, and legs. He fits in it comfortably. I question, though, if there would be enough room for a 31 lb dog. I would check the manufacturer's weight limit because I know one was listed and I think it was about 30 lbs.

I'm sorry I couldn't say. We found them to run on the small side so it didn't fit our pug. I didn't find it to be overly bulky if that helps.

Hi Julie! I have a 6 lb morkie. I had to put the collar in the tightest notch. Yes it is adjustable and **very well made. "Star" has had hers for over 6 mos and it is like new. I am very happy with the collar. I think the small will work for your pug... Although they do tend to have fairly large necks :)

I bought this for my pug. He is hefty - medium fits snug, but doesn't slow him down. I think snug is better than too loose. I'm not sure exactly where to measure, but I tried to measure about where he wears it and I'd say he is at least about 20". I tell my him "let's put your pants on" and he stands still for it so I don't think he really minds it. I'm really happy with this product....and it does soften up after a few washings.

There are a lot of things that will determine whether or not the dog will fit. Your size will matter. I'm a large man and I have pugs. When I use it, I have the legs extended all the way and my pugs sit beside me right against my leg. You might have to have your dog sit next to you instead of directly on top of you. This is an excellent product! I have no complaints
