Frequently Asked Questions: Frug Teeth
Do Frugs have serious dental problems?
Frugs have some of the most severe dental disease risk of any dog. French Bulldogs and Pugs are both among the highest-risk breeds for dental disease due to their flat, brachycephalic skulls. Combining them produces a dog with extremely compressed jaw anatomy, chaotically-angled teeth, and very rapid periodontal disease progression.
How do I care for a Frug’s teeth?
Daily brushing with the smallest available finger brush is essential. Focus on enzymatic toothpaste — passive chemical plaque control matters enormously when physical brushing access is limited by the extreme flat face. Professional cleanings every 6 months with full X-rays are required, not optional.
At what age do Frugs develop dental disease?
Without daily brushing, Frugs can develop significant visible tartar and early gum disease by 12–18 months of age. With daily care, this can be delayed — but professional monitoring every 6 months is essential regardless of how diligent home care is.
Do Frugs need tooth extractions?
Many Frugs require tooth extractions at some point in their lives. Teeth that erupt in abnormal positions due to jaw compression, retained baby teeth, and advanced periodontal disease around poorly-supported roots all contribute to the high extraction rate in this mixed breed.
