S4 EP16: Rescue Pug Honeymoon Period

The Pug Life Show ·

2025/11/02

Today we’re talking about something every new rescue pug pawrent should be aware of— the Rescue Pug Honeymoon period. Specifically, what happens when you bring home a rescue pug and they seem unbelievably well behaved or incredibly naughty and you think to yourself, WOW I lucked out or have I made a huge mistake. Our fur-end Jess from Howling Success Dog Training is back to talk about the emotional rollercoaster of those first few weeks/months, and how to support your new snuggle pug as they

S4 EP15: From Ruff to Buff: Pug Nutrition Gets Pawsonal

The Pug Life Show ·

2025/10/19

Today, we’re diving nose-first into the world of pug nutrition but on a more pawsonal level. That’s right, Rosie and Kenji have been working with our fur-end Jackie Gowland from Functional Canine to help with Rosie’s reflux that made mealtimes a bit ruff, and Kenji’s sensitive tummy that made toileting a bit of a challenge for him too. I promised that I get Jackie back on to follow-up on our first conversation with her about pet nutrition and what better way than to share the results of her work

Today on The Pug Life Show PUGCAST we’re diving into one of the most important journeys a pawrent can take — finding their fur-ever pug love through a rescue, shelter, or pound. But how do you know when it’s the right fit? With the help of force-free trainers Jess and Alex, we’ll be sniffing out the red flags to watch for and the green lights that tell you you’re on the right track. From the legal requirements rescues must comply with, to the health history you should have access to, the

2025/09/07

There is nothing we love more than a visit by a Puggie (and their Hooman) to talk about their Pug Life and in today’s episode, we’re joined by dynamic pug duo — Sammy and Sophie! Sammy’s the musical one, always ready to break into song, while Sophie brings the spice as her Pug-mom Mary says, especially when she’s in the mood to play. She’s been known to grab Sammy by the harness and drag him along for the fun of it — but I’ll let Mary tell you what else she does to encourage Sammy to play! These

S4 EP10: What the floof is in this? Bone Appetit Puggies

The Pug Life Show ·

2025/07/06

Today we’re digging into a topic that affects every Puggie, every day: what the floof is in our Puggies food bowl. Because let’s face it — what we feed our pugs has a huge impact on their health, happiness, and those oh-so-charming snorts. We’re talking about nutrition with a bonafide Animal Nutritionist Jackie Gowland from Functional Canine — not in a preachy or confusing way, but in a real, practical, “what do I actually put in the bowl?” kind of way. Whether you’re serving up kibble, raw,

The Pug Life Show ·

2025/06/22

In this episode, we’re unpacking something that affects more Pugs than we often realise—canine anxiety and reactivity. From sudden reactivity on a walk to the silent worry that plays out behind big, brown eyes, anxiety in our Pugs isn’t always loud — but it is always worth understanding. We’re so lucky to have our fur-end Sarah Rutten, canine behaviourist and author of the bestselling book The Canine Perspective, coming back on the show to help us break down exactly what anxiety and reactivity mean,

Welcome back, Pug Pawrents! If you tuned in to Part 1 of this special two-part series on Pug health and well-being, you’ll know we’ve been diving deep into what it really takes—emotionally, practically, and yes, financially—to keep our squishy-faced companions living their happiest, healthiest lives. One of my biggest goals with the PUGCAST is to give you the kind of information that’s not only helpful, but honest—whether that’s through heartwarming stories from fellow Pawrents or expert advice

2025/06/01

One of my biggest goals for the PUGCAST is to give Pug Pawrents like you useful, reliable information to help you live your best Pug Life. Sometimes that means sharing real stories from fellow Pawrents, and other times it means bringing in the pros to chat about topics that are super impawtant — but don’t always come up during playgroup catch-ups. That’s why I’ve been so excited to put together an episode focused entirely on Pug health and well-being — and yes, what it really costs to keep your

Today, I’m thrilled to welcome best-selling author and certified force-free trainer Sarah Rutten. If you’ve ever wondered how to deepen that magical bond with your Puggie without ever raising a voice, you’re in the right place. Sarah’s book The Canine Perspective is a treasure trove of compassionate, science-backed techniques—and she’s not just an expert on paper. She’s a bona fide Crazy Pug Lady, too, with over twenty years of hands-on experience wrangling, pampering, and learning from her own

And speaking of Buster the Blind Rescue Pug… today’s episode is all about our pawsome foster boy and the incredible journey we’ve shared. 🐶💛 Buster is the first blind Pug I’ve ever had the honour of living with, and let me tell you—it’s been eye-opening in all the best ways. From learning how he navigates the world to understanding his needs, it’s been a truly special and educational experience. In this episode, I’ll share Buster’s story, what it’s really like to live with a blind Pug, and offer

S4 EP 04: Furry Tales with PD the Pug 🐾🎙️

The Pug Life Show ·

2025/04/06

Call me a big kid, but I absolutely love children’s books—especially ones about pugs! There’s something magical about diving into a simpler world, where I can easily imagine my own pug as the star of the story. PD the Pug (with a little help from his mommy Marilee) has been busy turning beloved fairy tales into pawsome furry-tail adventures. You can just picture PD right in the middle of all the fun and what I love most is that while the stories are playful and full of PD charm, they still hold

If there’s one thing that gets me every time, it’s a heartwarming ‘Puggily Ever-After’—whether it’s a rescue pug finding their forever family or a lost pug making their way back home. Just the thought of that joyful reunion gets me teary-eyed and makes my heart skip a beat! ❤️🐾 So, when I had the chance to chat with Dr. Doug Black about one of Australia’s largest pet registries, I couldn’t say no! In this episode, we’re diving into the world of microchipping and the incredible role it plays in

S4 EP02: Pug Tattoos; an enduring memorial

The Pug Life Show ·

2025/03/02

Have you ever considered memorialising your Pug or Puggies by getting a tattoo? I already have one tattoo from my Navy days, and I always thought that I’d get more but life just got in the way and I’m now thinking that it’s time to change that – the big question is, what do I get? I have been a Pug-mum to five Pugs in the last 20 years, not counting the Rescue Puggies I have been blessed to foster, and I’m wondering if I will have enough “body canvas” to fit them and future Pugs in if I choose a

World War and Service Animal Day is a couple of weeks away, on the 24 February to be exact, and ashamedly as a veteran myself I didn’t know about this very impawtant day or what the Purple Poppy was until I meet some of the team at the Dog Lovers Show. Needless to say, after that enlightening conversation and the purchase of a couple of Purple Poppies for myself and Andrew to wear alongside our Red Poppies I invited the President of the Australian War Animal Memorial Organisation, Nigel Allsop, to

Last week I spoke to Jo from Pug Rescue and Adoption Victoria about the work they do and the Puggie lives they save … not to mention the puggily ever after stories they get a front row seat too when a resuce puggie gets their wish of being adopted by a loving family. So this week, Jo kindly agreed to pop back on the PUGCAST and talk about the Christmas wishes three rescue puggies have asked SantaPaws to grant, and how you might be able to help SantaPaws grant those wishes

S3 EP11: Pug Rescue and Adoption Victoria

The Pug Life Show ·

2024/12/08

Many years ago, when I rescued my first pug Winston a.k.a Fatdog through a local Vet who was doing everything they could to save the life of a little black pug whose only crime was that his family no longer wanted him and thought it was better to ‘put him down’ than find a loving home, did I realise just how naive I was about the world of pugs. Which is why today’s episode is so important to me – today I’m talking to Joanna from Pug Rescue and Adoption Victoria, a volunteer community foster care
