Join the team. Training starts at noon (after the nap).
Wear your team colors with pride! Introducing the official mug of the Pug Dad Athletic Department. We all know the rigorous training regimen required to own a pug: heavy lifting (picking them up to put them on the couch), sprinting (to the kitchen when the fridge opens), and endurance (listening to snoring for 8 hours straight).
This sharp, sporty design features a classic collegiate aesthetic in bold navy blue and gold. The mascot? A cool pug wearing a backwards baseball cap and chewing on a bone like a pro athlete.
It’s the perfect mug for the Dog Dad who wants to look sporty while sipping coffee and watching his dog sleep.
Why this mug makes the Varsity Team:
Irony at its Finest: Celebrating the "Athletic Department" of a breed famous for getting tired after walking to the mailbox is pure comedy gold.
Classic Collegiate Look: The varsity lettering and crest design give it a timeless, masculine feel that looks great in any office or man cave.
Cool Character: The backwards hat and confident expression make this pug look like the MVP of the dog park.
- Pug-Approved Quality
This sturdy ceramic mug is crafted for your daily coffee or tea. To preserve the high-definition Artisan Seal on the base and the vibrant finish of your pug’s portrait, we recommend hand-washing only with a soft sponge and warm soapy water.
- The Mark of Authenticity
Each mug features a permanent, raised-texture brand mark on the base. To ensure this specialty detail remains "show-ring" ready for years to come, please avoid the microwave and high-heat dishwasher cycles.
- A Permanent Bond
We use a high-heat sublimation process to fuse the main artwork into the glaze, ensuring it won't peel, crack, or fade. Combined with our secondary artisan finish on the base, your mug is built for longevity.
- Safe for the Whole Family
Quality is our priority. Your mug is crafted from high-quality ceramic that is entirely lead and BPA-free.
- Handle with Care
To protect the specialty branding and the high-gloss finish, please avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scrubbing pads.
- Pug-Fast Production (1–3 Business Days)
Every mug is now hand-pressed right here in our studio! Because we’ve brought production in-house, we can get your custom design "show-ring" ready and out the door in just 1 to 3 business days. No dusty shelves here—just fresh ink and high-quality ceramic.
- On the Trail (3–5 Business Days)
Once your mug leaves our kennel, standard delivery typically takes 3 to 5 business days. We’ll send you a tracking number the moment it ships so you can watch your pug’s journey every step of the way.
- Total Wait Time
Most customers are unboxing their new favorite mug within 4 to 5 business days of placing their order.
At Pugsonmugs.com, we want every "pug parent" to be wagging their tail with joy! Because our mugs are custom-crafted specifically for you the moment you order, we have a specific set of guidelines for refunds and replacements.
1. Damaged or Defective Mugs (30-Day Window)
If your mug arrives with a "ruff" start—such as being broken in transit, misprinted, or defective—we will send you a replacement at no extra cost!
- The Clock Starts: You must report the issue within 30 days of receiving your mug.
- What we need: Please email us at with your order number and a clear photo of the damaged item. We don’t usually ask you to mail the broken mug back; the photo is all we need to get a new one into production for you!
2. Lost in the Kennel (Packages Lost in Transit)
If your pug mug seems to have lost its way and never arrives, don't worry! For packages lost in transit, all claims must be submitted no later than 30 days after the estimated delivery date. Once confirmed as lost by the carrier, we will fetch a replacement for you immediately.
3. Change of Mind (Buyer’s Remorse)
Because each mug is printed to order with your specific AI pug design, we cannot offer refunds or exchanges if you change your mind or simply don't want the item anymore. We recommend double-checking your design choice before hitting that checkout button!
4. Wrong Address
If you provide an address that the courier considers insufficient, the package will be returned to our fulfillment facility. We’ll be happy to reship it to you at your updated address, but you will be responsible for the cost of the new shipping label.
