These products are for enrichment and comfort. They don't treat or prevent BOAS or any medical condition. If your dog snores loudly, breathes noisily when awake, tires or overheats quickly, regurgitates, or ever collapses or turns blue or grey, see your vet — collapse or blue or grey gums is an emergency.
