 Is it normal for pugs? Yes. And they're a force to be reckoned with in the veterinary world. And I'll take a 120-pound Rottweiler over a pug for a nail trim any day. So, yeah, they tend to be really funny about their feet. Now, how old are your doggies? They're six. They're six years old. Have they always been this way, or is this something they've just kind of developed recently? They've always been this way, but it seems like it's getting worse the older they get. They're getting more stubborn.
