Types of Airway Surgery We Offer

Airway surgery focuses on correcting structural issues that can make breathing harder for flat-faced pets such as Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Pugs, and similar breeds.

Stenotic nares surgery widens narrow nostrils to help your pet breathe more easily through the nose. This procedure is often recommended for brachycephalic pets who snore loudly, struggle with exercise, or show signs of noisy or labored breathing.

Nasal fold excision removes excess skin folds near the nose that may trap moisture, cause irritation, or contribute to inflammation and discomfort. Surgery can help improve comfort, hygiene, and airflow in pets with prominent facial folds.
