Can a Pug be a service dog? Can a Pug be a service dog?
Although Pugs can technically be trained as service dogs, they are not commonly used for physically demanding service roles like guiding or mobility assistance due to their small size and brachycephalic (short-nosed) structure. Pugs are better suited as emotional support or therapy dogs where, unlike service dogs, the job is to provide comfort and companionship to individuals in need.
