It is cute - until it is 3am and you can't sleep! SnoreStop for Pets spray helps open airway(s) where snoring occurs for better breathing which promotes better sleep. You and your pet will both benefit from not snoring. Fact: a snoring pet can be a sign of an underlying health issue. Time to retire the earplugs and get to the root of the problem since this affects their overall health (you should do this with your snoring spouse as well). Your pet's snoring is the result of an obstruction in one or more airways. Half the pets in the U.S. are overweight or obese. Overweight or obese pets have a higher risk of suffering from excessive snoring. They tend to have excess tissue in their throat which causes the obstruction that blocks the airways. Dog breeds that are more prone to snoring: English & French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, Pugs, Boxers, Pekingese, Lhasa Apso, & Shih Tzu. These dogs are afflicted by something called Brachycephalic airway syndrome. This syndrome consists of narrow nostrils, an elongated soft palate, and a narrowed windpipe. Brachycephalic breeds may have one or a combination of these problems that make it difficult for them to breathe properly. In the feline world, the Himalayan and Persian cats have smaller nostrils which are bred for the 'pushed in look'. Dr. Sheldon Gerstenfeld, “Snoring generally is the result of a slight obstruction such as post-nasal drip or a small, loose amount of tissue in the throat that manifests itself when a pet breathes. Often, such snoring is a consequence of allergies or of being overweight, just as in humans”. The gentle formula helps open and clear the airways for better breathing.
