collapsed trachea support
Collapsing Trachea in Dogs
Coughing and shortness of breath are some of the uncomfortable symptoms related to collapsing trachea in dogs. If you have a pup showing these signs, we can help you better understand this condition and ways to provide the best care for your little one. Smaller dogs are more genetically prone to collapsed trachea. Still, any pet can suffer from this condition, so let’s discuss the clinical signs, diagnostic tests, treatment options, and natural supplements so you know how to support your little one.
What is Collapsing Trachea in Dogs?
The trachea is the windpipe that allows air to pass in and out of your little one’s lungs. Collapsing trachea is a condition where the cartilage rings of the trachea, which normally provide structural support, weaken or collapse. With that, when the trachea collapses, it can lead to breathing difficulties and discomfort for our canine companions.

Schedule a consultation with one of our expertsWhat Causes Collapsing Trachea in Dogs?
There is not a single cause for collapsing trachea in dogs. However, it is believed to be a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Smaller breeds, such as Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, and Yorkshire Terriers, are more prone to this condition. Other contributing factors may include obesity, respiratory infections, allergies, or irritants.
What are the Clinical Signs of Tracheal Collapse?
The clinical signs of tracheal collapse can vary but commonly include:
- Honking or harsh coughing, especially during excitement or physical activity.
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath.
- Wheezing or raspy breathing sounds.
- Gagging or retching, particularly after eating or drinking.
- Exercise intolerance and fatigue.
- Bluish tint to the gums or tongue in severe cases.
If you notice any of these signs in your dog, it’s essential to consult with your veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
What are the Diagnostic Tests?
To diagnose tracheal collapse, your veterinarian may perform several diagnostic tests, including:
- Physical examination: Palpation of the trachea and listening to the breathing sounds.
- Radiographs (X-rays): These can help visualize the collapsed trachea or rule out other underlying causes.
- Tracheal endoscopy: A thin, flexible tube with a camera is inserted into the trachea to directly visualize the collapse and assess its severity.
These tests will aid in confirming the diagnosis and determining the appropriate treatment approach.
What are the Treatment Options for Collapsing Trachea in Dogs?
The treatment options for collapsing trachea depend on the severity of the condition. Mild cases may be managed with lifestyle modifications, medication, and supplements to control symptoms, with cough suppressants or bronchodilators properties. More severe cases may require surgical intervention, such as tracheal stenting or surgical reconstruction of the trachea. Your veterinarian will guide you in selecting the most suitable treatment plan for your dog’s specific situation.
How Can I Take Care of a Dog with Tracheal Collapse?
Taking care of a dog with tracheal collapse involves several essential steps:
- Maintain a healthy weight: Obesity can exacerbate breathing difficulties, so ensure your dog maintains a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise.
- Use a harness instead of a collar: Collars can put pressure on the trachea, worsening the condition. Opt for a harness to avoid additional strain on the trachea during walks or when restraining your dog.
- Manage environmental triggers: Avoid exposure to irritants, such as smoke, dust, or strong chemical odors, as these can aggravate respiratory symptoms.
- Provide a calm and stress-free environment: Stress and excitement can trigger coughing episodes. Create a calm atmosphere to help minimize these triggers.

Tracheal Collapse Support for Pets
Tracheal collapse is an acquired, non- congenital, disease. It can occur in the neck region, within the chest, where the trachea is located, or in both locations. The cartilage rings of the trachea (windpipe) are shaped like the letter C, lying on its back. A small membrane covers the top of the ring. The cartilages loses its rigidity, and the membrane stretches. For this reason, the rings may be collapsed, the windpipe flattened, and mild to severe obstruction of the airway may develop.
The cause is not well understood, but proposed theories include genetic factors such as breed, nutritional influences, neurologic problems, and degeneration of the tracheal cartilages.

Natural Dog Stress Reliever Supplemental Support
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
- Working dogs that are pushed too hard
- Flying on a plane
- Special events (eg. fireworks)
- Staying in a shelter
- The loss of an owner
- The loss or addition of a furry playmate
- Going to a new home
- Moving
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.
Help Support Your Dog Naturally
All NHV supplements like Lesstress are 100% natural and created by a holistic veterinarian and a master herbalist, specially formulated for pets. Feel free to contact our veterinary professionals to get more insight into your little one’s health and wellbeing.

Description
Natural Dog Stress Reliever Supplemental Support
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
- Working dogs that are pushed too hard
- Flying on a plane
- Special events (eg. fireworks)
- Staying in a shelter
- The loss of an owner
- The loss or addition of a furry playmate
- Going to a new home
- Moving
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.
