Dogs will often sneeze as a result of allergies, such as an allergy to pollen or dust mites. It can also be the result of sinus infection or nasal polyps. If your dog is sneezing for no apparent reason, take them to see a vet and have blood work done. The vet may prescribe antibiotics if they suspect it’s bacterial in nature. Sneezing can also be indicative of other health issues like heart disease so it’s important not to ignore it.
If you’re ever unfortunate enough to see your dog experience a nosebleed, don’t panic. The first step is always just making sure that the bleeding has stopped and being as supportive of the animal in question as possible given what they’ve experienced. So, if there’s blood coming out of one nostril, cover it with something absorbent like toilet paper or cloth while applying cold compresses on top of their head near where both nostrils are located (don’t worry about tilting back their heads).
