Dr. Carol Reinero, an expert in respiratory diseases in small animals, discusses the rising popularity and associated problems of brachycephalic (shortnosed) dog breeds such as French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, and Pugs. She explains how their physical traits lead to a variety of health problems, particularly respiratory issues known as brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) and aerodigestive disorders. The discussion delves into how even though specific symptoms associated with brachycelpahlic breeds (including exercise intolerance, loud breathing, coughing after eating, excessive burping, flatulence, snoring and obstructive sleep apnea) are often considered “normal," these have serious long-term health implications and negatively impact a dog’s quality of life. In addition, due to their compromised respiratory systems, these dogs are also increasingly susceptible to infections and severe manifestations of diseases like canine influenza. To combat these serious concerns, Dr. Reinero emphasizes the critical role of veterinary professionals in managing the complex health needs of brachycephalic dogs. By adopting Gentle Control techniques, implementing effective obesity management strategies, educating pet owners, and tailoring vaccination protocols to include low-volume preventive vaccines, veterinary professionals can significantly enhance the well-being of these beloved breeds. Additionally, the discussion delves into specifics of creating a positive and Fear Free veterinary experience that fosters better compliance with health recommendations and strengthens the human-animal bond.
