Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. Snoring can occur in any dog breed, we just hear it more in the shorter faced dog breeds. If mauno is not having any breathing difficulties and is sleeping just fine, I would just monitor this for now. It does not sound as though he is having trouble breathing so I would say it is safe to just monitor for signs of worseni g or new symptoms such as breathing difficulties. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.
