ok here goes! - TO begin - believe it or not , pugs, short haired dogs and all - do SHED!!!!!!! also at this age - they are dropping puppy coat and adult coat is coming in - daily brushing with a bristle brush will help decrease the shedding - DO NOT BATHE your dog, unless he iks really dirty ( this will cut down on loss of natural oils) and being a toy dog, please make sure that you are feeding a good dog food that is high in protein and fat- that will also help from the inside out - with the brushing, stop bathing if you are doing it weekly or less, and make sure about the protein/fat content of your dog food- you should see some changes- but sorry to tell you - yes - little pugs do shed year round! Good luck and love your dog most of all!

You might want to check his diet because something is obviously making your pug lose hair. I've been told by vets that it is often the diet that causes this. Either way take your dog to the vet ASAP B4 it gets outta hand.

Why don't you want to take your dog to the vet? If your dog has been losing hair like that for 4 months and you have done nothing to seek treatment for it, then that is animal cruelty. If you won't get help for your dog, give it to someone who will.

Sorry, I'd take him to the vet. Could be allergies or something else he's gotten into. My neighbor's dog had the same problem and it was some bacterial thing.

Try brushing it a couple times a day,and see if it seems to help!My dogs shed alot,but it helps to catch it in the brush.If it still seems like too much you should have it checked out by it`s doggie doctor.(I didn`t say vet!)

According to the site below, the #1 cause of hair loss is allergic reaction to flea saliva. So you could try a topical flea medication to see if that helps. If not, it could be any of the other conditions others have mentioned already.

Good luck, I hope your puppy gets better soon!

Well, how do you know for sure if his skin really is okay unless you do take him to the vet to make sure, he could have mange, which is a very serious disease in dogs, some of it is so bad dogs have to be put down and the main sign of mange is hair loss. So do take the dog to the vet because he is probably suffering and you don't want him to suffer; good luck.

I am at the bottom of the answer page, and I hope you read this. I notice you say there is a time period, like this is unusual. Has the dog been put under any kind of stress?

Household (family issues?) staying in a kennel for vacation? An adjustment from the normal routine? Something you know the Pug doesn't like? A new family member? Moving?

All these things will put stress on the family pets like it will our own kids. See if you can find a way to eliminate stress from the puppy. He may be scared. That can be a symptom.
