When it comes to BOAS, the nose matters, as 80% of airway resistance in brachycephalic dogs is attributed to the nose.

That’s why correcting the nose is such an important part of helping dogs with Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) breathe better.

Inside these tiny noses, large alar folds can significantly restrict airflow. These are delicate, highly vascular areas—which is why precision matters.

Our CO₂ laser allows us to carefully mark exactly what needs to be removed & precisely open these obstructed nasal passages with a minimally invasive technique—minimal bleeding, minimal swelling, & no sutures.

The goal is simple: open the pathway so air can travel through the nose, through the throat, & into the lungs where it belongs.

Research led by Professor Gerhard U. Oechtering & colleagues at the University of Leipzig helped demonstrate just how significant obstruction inside the nose can be in brachycephalic dogs.
