If you’re a dog owner then you probably already know that my dog is sneezing a lot. You might not even be aware that your dog is doing it, but dogs definitely make lots of noise when they are sneezing. In fact when my dog is sneezing it wakes me up because he starts to cough a lot.

Most of the time I only catch it in the morning when he sneezes – He does this a lot in the summer too and I guess if he were to sneeze in the winter it would probably wake me up. So we pretty much know when he is sneezing a lot and when he is not. We also know when he is not sneezing but we can’t quite figure out why he is not as good as he usually is.

There are some things that I believe could be causing this change in my dog – One of the main reasons is that he has been exposed to cats a lot longer than he has cats. When dogs are first introduced to people, they are usually very fearful so they try to avoid them for the most part. This can cause them to not have the best breathing qualities. So for example if your dog has never been around cats then he is going to have a difficult time breathing on his own and will tend to do this when he is with people.

Another reason my dog is sneezing – a lot is because he is not getting as much exercise as he once was. Dogs really need a good exercise routine to stay in good health. A lot of times my dog’s little accidents are caused by him not taking care of himself and not getting enough exercise. It’s just like people, they tend to want to hang around when they are happy and feel good.

Some of the other reasons – my dog is sneezing a lot could also be from other underlying health conditions. He could have an ear infection, diabetes, or even kidney disease. Other dogs may just have allergies they have no idea how to deal with. Allergies can be hard to handle so my advice is to take your dog in to see the vet and get it checked out. Also, if you suspect any health conditions get it treated right away.

My dog is sneezing a lot – because he is not taking care of himself like he used to. I used to think about my dog the same way that I would if I was a cat owner. I would just give it a few supplements and things like that to make sure he wasn’t dying of natural causes, but I don’t do those things any longer. Instead I just give my dog natural supplements.

They are much better for him and also help keep him from having all of those allergies and other health problems.
