Any way to stop a dog from snoring?

[saleg37]

We've recently been having some trouble with or dog. She snores. LOUDLY. It's starting to get really annoying, and the only thing I can think of to fix it is to keep waking her up, but that's just cruel, and I refuse to do that. Has anyone had this problem with a dog before? And is there any way to keep her from doing it?

Including killing the dog or not including killing the dog?

if its a problem, i suggest buying a good kennel and making the dog sleep outside.

Hmm this is a tough one. How about this: when the dog is asleep and snoring, carefully tie a rope to its tail, trying not to wake it. Then take the other end of the rope with you outside, and when theres a red light, tie it to the rear bumber of the nearest vehicle.

edit: (Important: dont forget to leave your door open)

I had an old coonhound that loved to snore loudly, but we kept her in our basement (not the cold, dungeony type you might immediately think of) so I never really had to deal with it. When she came camping with us, and I did have to hear her, it actually put me to sleep faster knowing she was asleep.

all my four dogs wake up at the slightest sound for the most part. i hear one of the dogs snore once or twice. Is the dog in a nearby room or something? If it is indeed "nerve racking" then why wont use put collar and leash and tie her up outside, if the weather permits or in a room that will not disturb you.

I'd kick it. Dogs don't snore after being kicked.

Because they wake up or because they get scared that theyll be kicked again (whilst remaining asleep)?

Generally dogs wake up when kicked

That does not apply to humans tho.

I can say as owner of a flat-muzzled pug, that you'll get used to it eventually.

Get rid of it and get a proper pet: i.e; a cat.

Cats purrrrr. (very much favourable to snoring dogs)

Dogs are great pets too!

Lay the mutt on his side.

They make an OTC oral spray treatment for people that snore - works pretty well I think. Try spraying it in the dog's mouth and see what happens. Otherwise put 'em in a kennel outside, or laundry room, garage, etc.

Maybe, but cats are better. They are gods after all.

Make her lose weight by limiting her food intake and increasing exercise. That will reduce or eliminate the snoring.

Your dog is a part of your family. Take it to the vet to make sure the snoring isn't being caused by some problem. If it isn't, learn to live with it.

P.S. - My cat snores.

Jeez....I needed that laugh

leave the dog outside and it can snore as much as it wants to.

Feed it loads of caffine-pills every day so it doesn't need to sleep.
