This can be perfectly normal and can be caused by something as simple as your dog sleeping on his back. The tongue can drop back towards the throat, blocking the breath from moving easily.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_stop_a_dog_from_snoring\"><\/span>Can you stop a dog from snoring?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To stop a dog from snoring, <b>try adjusting the dog&#8217;s position so that it&#8217;s lying on its belly with its head and paws straight. You can also put a pillow under its head to straighten its neck and increase air flow.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_wake_up_my_snoring_dog\"><\/span>Should I wake up my snoring dog?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Non-Brachycephalic Dogs <b>If your dog is not brachycephalic, it&#8217;s safe to assume his snoring is negatively impacting his sleep quality. Snoring can keep your dog from resting as deeply as he would otherwise, and it may cause him to wake himself up quite a bit.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_dog_snoring_so_loud_all_of_a_sudden\"><\/span>Why is my dog snoring so loud all of a sudden?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A dog that suddenly starts snoring when they haven&#8217;t before <b>may have something causing a blockage in their airway, causing turbulent airflow which makes for noisy breathing and snoring. These obstructions can be anything from something like a grass seed lodged up the nose, through polyps (benign lumps) and abscesses.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_I_stop_my_dog_from_snoring_so_loud\"><\/span>How can I stop my dog from snoring so loud?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>What Do You Do?<\/b><\/p>\n<li>Try an air humidifier.<\/li>\n<li>Get a round bed for your dog to sleep on (the position will expand your buddy&#8217;s air passages)<\/li>\n<li>Use a pillow to prop up your sleepy sidekick&#8217;s head while he rests.<\/li>\n<li>Switch up the rooms your buddy sleeps in.<\/li>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents What does it mean when your dog snores really loud?Can you stop a dog from snoring?Should I wake up my snoring dog?Why is my dog snoring so loud all of a sudden?How can I stop my dog from snoring so loud?
