Brachycephalic (Snub-Nosed Breed) Respiratory Syndrome

Brachycephalic syndrome is also known as "snub nosed breed" respiratory system because it only affects dog breeds with a compacted muzzle. Flattened breathing passages, narrow nostrils, and tissue inside the windpipe cause this condition, but your dog’s lungs are affected too. Watch this video to learn more about the biological causes and effects, and what you can do to minimize your snub nosed dog’s breathing problems.
