Helping Flat Faced Dogs Breathe & Thrive
This Fourth of July we celebrate freedom & independence. As veterinarians, our mission is to give animals a different kind of freedom—the freedom to breathe, move, play, & live without preventable suffering. That’s why we’re called to lead with science, advocate for animal welfare, and use our voices to help the pets who can’t speak [...]
The key to great vet care? Clear, simple communication. We start with open-ended questions, listen for the pet parent’s goals, & then answer directly to the pet’s needs. It keeps the visit calm, clear, & focused on the pet. Because communication builds better care.
Cuteness should never come at the cost of breathing. Over time short nosed dogs have been bred for flatter & cuter faces which brought chronic airway blockage. Noisy breathing, gagging, heat intolerance… those aren’t quirks. They’re red flags of Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome. As pet parents, our job is to notice those signs, speak up, [...]
Mochi had scabs, patchy hair loss, & just wouldn’t stop scratching, poor guy looked miserable. It turns out, the big bad culprit wasn’t something rare or mysterious. Just fleas. Specifically, flea allergy dermatitis, where even a single flea bite sets off this huge reaction. The good news, the solution is often pretty straightforward. Reliable flea [...]

Can you guess this dog breed suffering from BOAS? Many people think BOAS only affects French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, & Pugs… but that’s not true. This sweet pup was also struggling to breathe because of an elongated soft palate—a form of Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS). Take your best guess before we reveal the answer! [...]
A laser ala vestibuloplasty goes beyond a simple nose job—it removes the hidden blockages (alar folds) inside a short-nosed dog’s nostrils that cause significant breathing problems. Traditional “wedge” procedures only partially widen the entrance to the nose while leaving the airway obstructions inside. Our laser gently opens the nose, seals vessels to prevent bleeding, & [...]
Cappuccino went from struggling to breathe to living the life every dog deserves. Because of his heart condition, his cardiologist knew improving his breathing couldn’t wait. With our minimally invasive BOAS Laser Surgery, we gently opened his nose & airway so he could breathe more comfortably & enjoy life again. But this story is about [...]
Sometimes what we are told “is normal” for the breed is far from normal. If you have a dog who makes sounds that do not sound right, they’re most likely not right. As pet parents we must never accept the status quo & always ask questions. If your pet has a problem, there usually is [...]
