The Loudest Snoring Dog - This English Bulldog Will Keep You Up

Sleeping in a bed with a dog isn't for everyone. It can be soothing to have that big lug of a Lab pressed up against you, but you may well be sleeping with a dog that likes to hog the blankets or fill up most of the available space on the mattress. And, of course, you may have a dog that snores. LoudlyShow more

Just like with humans, snoring in dogs generally occurs when air movement is restricted in the nasal passageways or throat.

Some of what can cause dogs to snore may simply be that they like to sleep on their back, so their tongue ends up partially blocking some of the air movement in their passageways. Or your dog might be allergic to dust or second-hand smoke, each of which can lead to snoring.

Do you have an English bulldog, Shih Tzu, or Pug? These breeds are brachycephalic, which means that your dog has a broad, short skull with a short snout; i.e., a short breathing passage. It also means you're probably the pet parent of a snorer.
