Have you seen your dog make a noise like they are choking? It may be reverse sneezing, which can happen to any dog, of any age or breed. However, it is more frequent in small breed dogs, including most brachycephalic breeds (dogs with flat noses).
What Is Reverse Sneezing?
Reverse sneezing does not cause any risk to your little one.
In a normal sneeze, the air is pushed out through the nose. In the reverse sneeze, this air is pushed inward, generating a noise that resembles a dog snoring or coughing. During an episode of reverse sneezes, dogs make several inspirations, which can last up to two minutes. So, it is common for the pet owner to think that their furbaby is choking.
What Causes It?
Reverse sneezing in dogs is caused by a spasm in the throat and in the soft palate. This spasm can occur for different reasons, such as irritation/inflammation of the throat, excitement, allergies, infections, and, in rare cases, changes in temperature.
Is It Uncomfortable Or Dangerous?
Should You Visit The Vet Because Of It?
Reverse sneezing is not something that should worry you too much, as it is not a disease and does not cause any risk to your little one. However, no one likes to watch their best friend go for two minutes without being able to breathe properly. If the episodes of reverse sneezes are very frequent or take more than a few minutes to finish, it is important to talk to your veterinarian to rule out the possibility of other diseases such as nasal cancer, polyps or tumors, tracheal collapse, kennel cough, respiratory infections, or foreign bodies in the respiratory tract.
Symptoms Of Reverse Sneezing
- They may become static
- Stretch the neck upward
- Eyes can be wide
- Breathing movements will be faster than usual and can emit nasal sounds
What Can You Do To Help Stop Or Prevent Reverse Sneezing?
First, you need to keep calm to not stress your little one more. Therefore, you can gently massage your pet’s throat to help stop the spasm or you can cover your furry friend’s nostrils with your hands. It will make your dog swallow the saliva and helping stop the reverse sneezing. You can also open your little one’s mouth and press their tongue with your finger, which may help to move the air through the nose.
Supplements That May Be Helpful For Reverse Sneezing
Turmeric and Petomega 3 are supplements that help decrease inflammation and may help to decrease spasms. Therefore, they are general supplements that may be helpful for pets that are prone to reverse sneezing.

It is vital to provide omega 3 fish oil for dogs as an added supplement to your pet’s daily diet.
The American Journal of Veterinary Medicine has published studies on the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids (fish oils) for arthritis and degenerative joint disease in dogs. The studies showed that dogs who were given omega 3 fatty acids had a significantly improved ability to get up from a resting position and marked improvement in walking ability.

- Support for inflamed muscles and joints in dogs

- May stimulate and improve appetite
- Helps with digestion
Yucca root is widely used in dog food as well as in other pet foods. It is an herb that is highly nutritive as it is rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus. Yucca contains two very beneficial compounds: sarsasapogenin and smilagenin. These two compounds work on the mucous membranes of the small intestine. These compounds help with the penetration and absorption of minerals and vitamins. Sarsasapogenin and Smilagenin are known as steroidal saponins (phytosterols), which act as precursors to corticosteroids produced naturally by the body.
Steroidal-saponins support the immune function of the body while stimulating and supporting the production of its own corticosteroids and corticosteroid–related hormones. Due to this action, studies conducted on yucca have shown that it may be beneficial and effective for discomfort and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca may also be effective as an appetite booster in dogs and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some dogs.
