Brachycephalic dogs (like Pugs, Bulldogs and French Bulldogs) often suffer because they cannot breathe properly. Pete the Vet explains the background to this issue, and what can be done to deal with it.

Brachycephalic dogs: what is the problem with them?

I am a veterinary surgeon with a passion for communicating my love of my work through writing, radio,  television and the internet. My mission is to use the media to act as an advocate on behalf of animals.
I am a partner in a busy 4 vet practice in Bray, Co Wicklow, Ireland, but I spend 50% of my working week on media work. 
I've been broadcasting a weekly "vet spot" on my local radio station, East Coast FM, for the past fifteen years, and I'm delighted, through Soundcloud, to now make this weekly animal-related discussion available globally as a podcast.
