What to do if the dog’s nose is not breathable? Dogs are good friends of humans, and their bodies also need our attention and care.

Among them, the dog's nose is a very important organ. They can inhale oxygen through the blood vessels on the tip of the nose and transport oxygen to various tissues throughout the body.

However, if the dog's nose is not breathable, the puff-like breathing sound will appear, which not only affects the dog's sense of smell, but also poses a threat to their health.

So, how should we deal with the situation where the dog’s nose is not ventilated? 1. Understand the reasons for the dog's nose that is not ventilated. There may be many reasons for the dog's nose that is not ventilated, such as:
