Allergies Could Cause A Dog To Snore

If your dog snores when he sleeps close to you could mean night after night of lying in bed wide awake, restless, just listening to your pet snoring.

Allergies were identified to be a leading factor that makes snoring in dogs worse. There are dogs that are reactive specific allergenic substances around them, and when these dogs come into contact with allergens like these, for example, pollen, the dog will snore turned up to eleven. To add to allergens in the environment, there are also allergies that might be induced by specific components in a dog’s food.

Then there is also the smoke exposure, both second-hand and third-hand, that can bring discomfort to dogs. Smoke can also cause a dog’s breathing to become heavy and labored, and is manifested when asleep as snores. Exposure to smoke is also linked to critical dog health issues like cancer.

In dealing with your dog’s allergies, consulting your veterinarian Scottsdale, AZ is the best route to take. Your vet can work with you to pinpoint the allergen your dog is sensitive to. And then you can take steps to control the allergies by limiting or preventing exposure to that specific allergen.
