Top Reasons of Sneezing In Dogs

Mostly human beings try to suppress their sneeze to avoid spreading germs but dogs love to sneeze care free and openly. Sneezing from time to time is common in dogs but if it gets more frequent that’s something you should be concerned about. There can be multiple reasons that can cause sneezing in your pets i.e. allergies, dust etc. Like humans, dogs can also be allergic to chemical products, cleaning products, fragrances and dust. Sneezing can also be due to food allergies so best to give your dog the most suitable dog food and for that you can always contact best online pet store in Pakistan i.e petshub.pk.

Sneezing can be more prominently observed in hunting dogs, as they have more exposure to dirt areas and more filth and dust get into their nose hence be more careful when your dog goes around nose-deep through the undergrowth.

Sneezing can be a sign of some serious illness. Let’s look in more detail about the reasons for sneezing:

Kennel Cough:

You can confirm kennel cough if your dog sneezes with a combination of noise. Noises in particular like that of choking and obstruction.

Nasal Mites:

Nasal Mites are tiny arthropods that get into your dog’s nasal passage and result in sneezing. If you suspect nasal mites in your dog, contact our vets at petshub.pk immediately. They might insert a small camera in your dog’s nose and look for nasal mites. If nasal mites are found, anti-parasitic drugs need to be administered.

Dental Issues:

Dental issues can also cause sneezing as Dogs teeth are in the surrounding area of their nasal area and any issue in their teeth and gums irritates the nose as well and causes sneezing.
