Brachycephalic in Canine (Small Breeds)

Understand the health challenges of Brachycephalic Syndrome in Small-Breed Dogs in this expert-led presentation by Prof. Dr. Mike Chan, created for veterinarians, airway specialists, and caring pet owners. In small brachycephalic breeds, shortened skull bones and compact facial anatomy can narrow the upper airways, leading to breathing strain—especially in warm weather, during exercise, or periods of excitement. Factors such as genetic conformation, soft tissue crowding, and excess body weight can worsen symptoms. Signs may include noisy or laboured breathing, snorting, snoring, reduced stamina, and occasional collapse. Diagnosis is based on physical assessment, airway endoscopy, and imaging studies. Management follows an integrative path—combining medical or surgical interventions with regenerative therapies including PSC (Precursor Stem Cell Therapy), FOP (Frozen Organo Peptides), FOC (Frozen Organo Cryogenics), plus advanced TopPetPro innovations like MITO Peptide Organotherapy, NANO Peptide Organotherapy, etc.—to improve airflow, strengthen respiratory tissues, and enhance overall breathing comfort.
