Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, and it affects a significant portion of the human population.
While uncommon in dogs, sleep apnea can occur, particularly in brachycephalic breeds with flattened faces and shortened airways.
Signs of sleep apnea in dogs include snoring, choking, gasping, and tiredness, and it can negatively impact their overall health and well-being.
Treatment for canine sleep apnea often involves lifestyle changes, medication, or surgery, depending on the underlying cause.
