sometimes they just snore. but if the dog is overweight, that definitely makes it worse. also may want to have the vet check it out if it's a lot more than normal. and i don't think it's annoying, i think it's cute :)

  2. I love a bargain as much as anyone and I used to love all the cheap stuff I could find on eBay, but nowadays it seems so hard to find anything cheap over there and just when we're all finding it tougher to just pay our bills. I don't give up so I was looking for someplace online where I could still find myself a bargain... and by accident I came across this site I never heard of before where you get rock bottom prices from police impounded stuff, I mean I was worried about scams but this stuff is actually real and I got some real cheap stuff there... it's become my new eBay lol!

  3. If it has a flat face, then you probably can't...Otherwise it might be overweight so if it was healthier it wouldn't.

  4. honestly you can't as even fit dogs of many breeds have a snore and even they should be examined by a veterinarian

    yes it is annoying but unless your dog will sleep in another room and not scratch and cry to get into your bedroom you need to either deal with it or purchase soft touch ear plugs which are specifically designed to not allow you to hear snoring, about 10 bucks for a container of 20 (ten pair) one nice thing is that you will hear your alarm clock and telephone and doorbell but won't hear the snoring

    a dog is a wonderful friend and companion and our dogs put up with our many annoying to them behaviors so work with this issue and love your dog

    create a comfortable safe snug and secure bed for your dog away from your bed and see what happens, it takes time to get a dog to accept sleeping where s/he cannot see you and you must be very patient, sensitive and compassionate

    start with 10 minutes twice a day and then build up, talk to your vet
    good luck

    The links have alot of IMPORTANT info to stop your dog it will help.

    Dogs that are overweight or obese tend to have excess tissue in their throat which causes the obstruction that blocks the airways.
    Allergens like tree and weed pollen, dust and smoke cause nasal allergies. The resulting mucus blocks the nostrils and causes heavy breathing.
    Certain dog breeds are predisposed to snoring. Pekinese, Pugs, Boston Terriers are known to snore as their windpipe flattens which makes it difficult to breathe.
    Tobacco smoke is a big irritant to your pet. As long as your dog lives in a smoke filled environment he will continue to snore.
    If your pet is suffering from a cold he might snore in his sleep until his nostrils are clear.
    Six Useful Ways to Stop Dog Snoring
    If your dog is suffering from snoring caused by allergens make sure you clean his bedding every day. Walk him outdoors when the pollen levels are low and when there isn't too much traffic. Vacuum regularly and keep rugs and curtains dust free.
    Regularly exercise your pet so that he will reduce in weight and the snoring problem stops.
    A small surgery may be conducted on breeds predisposed to snoring. However, the surgery is generally conducted when dogs are young.
    Try to change the way your dog sleeps by either changing his bed or his sleeping posture.
    Give your dog a pillow. If he uses the pillow it will elevate his head and may reduce snoring.
    Avoid smoking next to your dog. Keep him in a smoke free environment

    :) I hope this helps./ ps. try to brush ur dog more and bath him he has maybe allergies~!

  6. haha if anyone knew this they;d be rich. If the dog is not overweight, often it is the position they are resting their head. Try to get them to change the position. Some dogs are more predisposed to snore though if they have flat noses it can be harder for them to breath.

  7. I love to hear my dog snoring, it makes me laugh.
    You cannot stop a dog snoring but you can put him in another room if it annoys you that much.
