pugs diet

Question
hi!
I live in India,Delhi. i have a 10 month old pug(fawn). i am facing the problem regarding his diet as hes not taking much from past 1 month, i thought may be thats because of the whether as here the temperature has reached about 42 degrees, means a damn hot climate, i frequently change his drinking water, give him food i.e royal canin but he doesn't eat until or unless if i  won't mix egg or cottage cheese in it but many of the times he doesn't take cheese as well which really creates a big problem for me, ya but he takes papaya sometimes in the evening or takes boiled cow's  milk  in the morning.... so please tell me what all should i do to keep him healthy and happy always....as i don't want to make him fall sick...weak due to my lesser knowledge..also how many times should i give him bath in a month.
Thanx Alot..

Answer
If the dog never did eat very well, and has seen the vet since the problem existed, you may be over feeding it. A vet check still won't hurt. Many dogs will wolf down more than is good for them and look for more. Others refuse to eat more than than they need. Evaluate the dog as illustrated in this link, http://www.longliveyourdog.com/twoplus/RateYourDog.aspx You may want the vet to confirm your judgment. Adjust the dogs food and exercise as needed to reach its ideal body condition. Some German Shepherds and other breeds may refuse to eat enough to completely hid their ribs. As long as you are feeding a concentrated, meat based chow, the best thing is to accept it.

The worst thing you can do is to bribe a dog with rich foods into eating more than it needs. Instead, Put down the dish with what the dog should eat, and give it 15 minutes to eat. Then take it up. Do not give it anything to eat until its next scheduled meal. In a few days, it should be eating what it needs. Continue to check its ribs and adjust the food as needed. This is not easy. I had a Shepherd go 3 days on a few nibbles. I was a wreck, but she was fine. It is almost unknown for a healthy dog not to eat what it needs. Unfortunately, in too many cases, it is less than the package says, and less than the owner thinks the dog should have. Many dogs are quite good at holding out for tastier chow. Like kids, sometimes it calls for tough love.

I seldom if ever give a dog a bath.  Brush it every day with a soft bristled brush.  That should take care of odor, dirt, and loose hair.
