How does a Veterinarian assess for BOAS?

Your family veterinarian may start by gathering a detailed history about your dog’s breathing habits – snoring, snorting, tiring quickly, heat intolerance, regurgitation, or noisy breathing. They will perform a full physical exam.

If BOAS is suspected, ask your family veterinarian to refer your pet to PetDerm. Dr. Becky Valentine does a detailed assessment using the Respiratory Function Grading Scheme (RFGS).
