I completely disagree. I have a pug(and an apartment) and I know for a fact(thanks to the vet) he's in great health and in a good weight range. Pugs have short snouts so breathing is harder for them not only that but the heat(even a little) tiers him out extremely easily. Even though he gets walks they are extremely short since he gets really hot and has a hard time breathing. We feed my dog some what small(reasonable portions) with a few snacks here and there so he's managed to keep a healthy weight.
