French Bulldogs, the breed we love most, face a heartbreaking airway struggle known as BOAS.

Kelce the 2 year old frenchie couldn’t breathe, this was his reality.

Kelce had an airway obstruction known as an elongated soft palate.

Imagine trying to breathe through a straw that won’t fully open—that’s what it feels like.

Kelce’s every breath was blocked by a thick flap of tissue blocking his windpipe.

No dog should ever live with something permanently stuck in the throat.

Sadly, this is a major welfare issue for Frenchies, who are the most popular breed in the U.S.—& they’re 17 times more at risk for BOAS.

But there’s good news! Our VetScalpel laser lets us gently remove that blockage—no clamps, no trauma, & no stitches.

It’s a smooth, quick procedure to open their airway & help them breathe freely again.

If you notice your Frenchie struggling to breathe—snoring, gasping, or tiring easily—reach out to your veterinarian or ask for a referral to a BOAS surgeon.

Early intervention can give your dog a happy, healthy life!
