Why do dogs keep sneezing?

There may be a number of reasons why your dog sneezes frequently. Here are some common reasons:

1. Environmental irritations: Irritants in the environment, such as dust, pollen, odors or chemicals, may cause dogs to sneeze. Just like humans, dogs sneeze to clear irritants from their nasal passages.

2. Allergic reactions: Dogs may be allergic to certain substances, such as indoor or outdoor allergens (such as dust mites, pollen, mold, etc.). These allergic reactions may manifest as frequent sneezing.

3. Infection or disease: The dog may be infected with respiratory diseases, such as upper respiratory tract infection, sinusitis, etc. These diseases may cause frequent sneezing. Other symptoms may include coughing, runny nose, yawning and loss of appetite.

4. Foreign objects or nasal congestion: The dog may have inhaled foreign objects, such as dust, hair, grass, etc., causing nasal congestion. This may cause frequent sneezing in an attempt to clear or get rid of the foreign object.

5. Genetic factors: Certain dog breeds may be more prone to frequent sneezing, such as flat-faced dog breeds (such as French Bulldogs, British Shorthair cats, etc.). This is due to the structure of their nose and respiratory tract.

If your dog sneezes frequently or is accompanied by other unusual symptoms (such as difficulty breathing, coughing, runny nose, etc.), it is recommended to consult a veterinarian for evaluation and treatment. A veterinarian can determine the cause of the problem based on symptoms and physical examination results and provide appropriate advice and treatment.
