What's the best product to clean pug wrinkles & prevent yeast?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Female | spayed | 1 year and 1 month old | 30 lbs

How do I stay on top of my pugs wrinkles? They get build up so fast. I clean them once a day with doggie wipes and I put Dr. Maggie's antibacterial cream in them. They are really built up with yeast (or whatever it is) the next day! I don't always use the cream only when needed. But she doesn't have any hair growing in there anymore and I was wondering if there was a better product for her? Specifically for pugs if there is one. Thank you!

Great question! I would recommend an antibacterial wash over a cream daily. The most important step is getting those crevices dry after. Any remaining moisture will cause a breeding ground for the yeast and bacteria. I would recommend this daily. Talk to your vet about antibacterial wipes (different companies make different medicated wipes). You could also try a small amount of baby powder in the crevices to help dry the area. I hope this helps! Kisses to Rosie!
