Snoring? I know that dogs can snore sometimes, but is it perfectly normal and safe for them to snore? Chip never used to snore as a puppy and it just seems like since he's gotten a little older, he has started snoring most of the time. It's really cute to hear him snore, I just don't want anything to be wrong with him. Smokey snores once in a while, but it's become a regular habit with Chip. He's snoring right now. |
Interested to see the answers here as Oliver snores too! I dont know wether to be concerned or just enjoy the cute sound of it!!;) |
My Azrael can bring the entire forrest down. Here is what I found on dogs that snore: Problems With Dogs Snoring | eHow.com |

Maggie May saws wood. She snored so loud one time that Hot Rod even woke up! lol She was right behind him and he lifted his head and just stared at her and then looked at me. :p |
Oh my gosh, you would freak out to hear our bunch. I have hubby, Kayla and Dudley all in the bed sounding like freight trains. Lexi and Tina are in their beds on each side of our beds making sounds you would not believe. Lexi even barks and whines in her sleep. Then hubby tells me I have my days and nights mixed up. The day is the only time I get rest. lol!!!!! |
LOL - - - I have two Yorkies, one husband, and two cats all snoring at the time - with five ten week old puppies, and keeping ? - I am going to invest in massive quantities of inedible ear plugs. |
You are keeping all 5? Whew weeeee!!!! Best of luck to ya... |
I am madly and insanely in love with them. I want to keep at least two. One is going to my daughter - so I have a boy and or a girl. Bev |
Marcel snores, and it's so flippin' cute :). However, it means some of the same things that snoring can mean in humans. As in, something structural is wrong and "flops" out of place, causing partial obstruction of the airway. Some dogs have elongated soft palates, inverted sacules, or stenotic nares. Dogs with allergies sometimes snore too. One of the concerns, for example, with elongated palate is that over time...with the flapping around, it can actually weaken *all* of the muscle structure in that area...causing the actual problem to worsen, and also causing secondary issues in the surrounding structures. If concerned, you could ask the vet to start with a sedated exam to see if anything can be observed in the structures at the back of the throat. A scope could be done too...but that's more involved. |
Well Roxy snores as well. How feminine for my little girl :o She actually makes all sorts of funny noises, even when she is awake. I feel that the noises while awake is just another way she comminucates. . As for the snoring, I would take it more serious than cute as there could be an underlying medical problem. I am watching Roxy closely with this. To be quite honest, she has snored ever since I got her and yes it is cute but .. Is it getting worse? Hard to tell/ I recall her snoring really loud once she settled into her new home. Perhaps she was just exhausted and comfy cozy warm and content that she slept so deep she started snoring.. Like to think so but I will watch this closer to be sure that she isn't haven't difficulties breathing, thus snoring when she is sleeping. The link that was previously posted is worthwhile taking a look at if you haven't already: Problems With Dogs Snoring Problems With Dogs Snoring | eHow.com If the snoring suddenly starts or is getting progressively worse, you may want to take your dog in to be checked.
