  3. I don't think you can. Don't think they make nasal strips for dogs.

  4. Ask for vet for a canine CPAP machine to aid his/her breathing at night.

  6. Same way I get my husband to stop, make them move into a different position. I usually wake my dog up and move her and she stops. As for my hubby if he sleeps on his right side he usually stops long enough for me to get some sleep.

    Good Luck!!

  7. Don't think there IS a way! Some breeds or mixes that have a short muzzle are worse - for instance, I have Boxers: snoring comes with the territory!

  10. Depends on what type of dog you have. Some dogs just have respiratory issues due to their breed and will snore and and there is nothing you can do about it. However, in the case of my dog, he snores because he tucks his head down and sleeps in a fetal postion which causes him to snore. I find that he only curls to this degree when he is cold, so I usually get up and get him a blanket to cover him and he will stretch out and stop snoring.

  11. LOL!!

    Is there any way to make the dog sleep in the other room? We have a problem with our two dogs at night. They BOTH want to be on the bed with us. So we let them up for a few minutes and then kick them out. They go sleep in our son's room. He's only 11, is very active, sleeps like a rock and has a full size bed. The three of them fit nicely, Bailey even gets her own pillow.

  13. I can tell you that breathe right strips, while woking well for humans, don't work so well on a dog nose

  14. First bring your dog to the vet to make sure his/her breathing passages aren't too narrow. There is surgery for that, but I don't recommend it unless the vet feels the snoring is causing too much sleep deprivation that will shorten his/her life.

    Second, your dog is probably over weight. Too much weight, just like in humans, will increase snoring. Bottom line, snoring for dogs and humans is a sign of some form of poor health. I have a Bulldog and keeping her lean, prevents her from snoring, which most bulldogs do.
