Snoring Dog

Is your four-legged friend snoring the house down? Whether it’s a faint whistle or a sound that mimics a tractor, there’s a reason behind why it’s happening.

So, when will you need a vet to intervene? If you’re concerned that there’s a blockage in their airway. Should your dog, for example, suddenly start snoring out of the blue, or if it sounds like they’re battling to breathe while asleep – it’s worth investigating further.
