Why is my Pekingese breathing loudly? Does she need nose surgery?

Question

My Pekingese is purebred and I've been told their noses are tiny and sometimes need to be clipped. She breaths from her mouth a lot and breathes louder than any of my other animals should I be concerned and when should I do the nose clip? Pet's info: Dog | Pekingese | Female | unspayed | 6 months and 8 days old | 6 lbs

Pixie is so cute! Yes, sometimes short-nosed dogs like Pixie need a surgery to widen their nostrils so they can breathe easier. Your veterinarian will be able to determine if this surgery is needed, and when to perform the surgery. Some vets like to wait until a dog is full grown, but it can be done at any age. Hope this helps!
