My 3 month old pitbull puppy snores quite loud and breathes faster when he sleeps. Should I be worried?

My puppy snores quite loud when he sleeps and he breathes fast.

But when he is awake he never gets out of breath or wheezes or anything.



Hi
This is usually nothing to worry about! Puppies can breathe erratically, whine, cry, twitch etc. in their sleep quite often. They're usually just dreaming.

As long as your puppy doesn't have any problems with his breathing, or muscle control, when he's awake, the chances are he's perfectly fine.

Good luck with your pup.

I agree

I'm not an expert, but I believe that your puppy is fine. This sounds normal to me. I am a pet sitter, and have had several puppies and dogs, myself, and this happens a lot. Good luck.
