There are many causes of sneezing in dogs. some potential causes are inhalation of a foreign body (grass seed, dust, etc), allergies, a nasal or upper respiratory infection or a nasal tumor to name a few. If Moehawk is otherwise acting normal, you could try Benadryl in case this is related to allergies. If he is lethargic, develops nasal discharge or the sneezing continues, I would recommend having him seen by a veterinarian. His vet could help determine the exact cause of the sneezing and how to best treat Moehawk. Hope he feels better soon!
