The sound of snoring is not easy on the ears at
all and when it comes from your sleeping dog, it
certainly becomes a thing to worry about. The
snoring of a dog is not only annoying, but also
indicative of a serious health problem. Although
there might be various factors contributing to a
snoring problem, the general conclusion you can
reach when you find your dog snoring is that it
is suffering from a blocked nose. According to
veterinarians, a snoring dog should not be taken
lightly at all. The most common causes of snoring
in dogs are as follows.
3
Rhinitis
  • Dogs are prone to respiratory infections and
    allergies which might cause inflammation in their
    nasal tissues.
  • This situation is termed rhinitis, which gives
    rise to a tendency to snore.
  • Although the infection subsides within a week, it
    might demand treatment if it does not show any
    sign of abating even after a week.

4
Fungal Infection
  • Fungal infection caused by mold on humid days
    might be a cause of snoring. Such infection, if
    left untreated, might take an ugly turn towards
    other serious diseases. However, such a situation
    can be prevented by maintaining extra caution
    during rainy days.
  • To avoid a mold infestation, the dog should be
    clothed in clean apparel and dog carriers and
    beds should be kept tidy and dry.

5
Foreign bodies
  • A blocked nose can also be caused by the
    accidental inhalation of a foreign body. It is a
    problem common to young dogs, who might inhale
    small pieces of dog toys, blocking their nose.
    This makes it imperative for you to consult a
    veterinarian if your dog suddenly starts snoring
    while sleeping.
  • Moreover you must keep dog playpens and other
    playing spaces de-cluttered enough to prevent
    such situation.

6
Obesity
  • This is undoubtedly a universal cause of snoring,
    which does not discriminate between man and dog.
  • Obesity blocks up the trachea rings, making it
    difficult for your dog breathe when it is lying
    down, resulting in snoring.
  • Needless to say, obesity must be controlled as it
    causes a wide range of health problems.

7
Breed characteristic
  • An inadvertent cause of snoring is your dogs
    breed. Short-nosed breeds have a natural tendency
    to snore while sleeping. However, the
    aforementioned causes might aggravate the sound
    of snoring, which a dog owner must be able to
    notice.
  • Any change in the volume or frequency of your
    short-nosed dogs snoring should be taken
    seriously.
