When it comes to BOAS, early recognition is key. First, LISTEN carefully for the sounds—like snoring, gasping, grunting, or struggling to breathe—& seek professional help ASAP.

At Boca Midtowne Animal Hospital, our expert team provides minimally invasive corrective surgery.

We remove the elongated soft palate & widen the nostrils (ala-vestibuloplasty) to help dogs like Mowgli breathe.

After surgery, we focus on a Fear-Free recovery, where you, as a pet parent, assist in ensuring comfort.

Follow-ups help confirm our goals:
1. better ability to breathe through the nose & the throat
2. improved exercise tolerance
3. reduced risk of heatstroke
4. Make anesthesia safer for any needed procedure
5. prevent emergencies like laryngeal collapse & aspiration pneumonia

Seeing Mowgli’s before-and-after transformation is proof that every flat-faced dog deserves a chance to thrive!
