Brachycephalic Breed

Cane Corsos, being a brachycephalic breed, have shorter noses, which can lead to respiratory issues and heat exhaustion. Brachycephalic breeds are prone to conditions like brachycephalic airway syndrome, which includes stenosis, a narrowing of the nasal passages that further complicates breathing. Signs of heat exhaustion include excessive panting, drooling, and weakness. Management involves keeping your dog cool, providing plenty of water, and avoiding excessive heat. Dogs should not be left in environments over 85 degrees Fahrenheit. If moving to a hotter location, heat training your dog gradually and monitoring activity levels are crucial. If your dog is overheated and panting, do not give them water immediately; instead, place them in a cool area and apply ice packs to their neck, armpits, or belly. Ice cubes can be given slowly to cool them down internally.
