Flat-faced breeds like Pugs, French Bulldogs and British Bulldogs are adored across Australia — but many live with a hidden struggle: chronic breathing difficulty caused by BOAS.

It’s early days, but the initial results are raising real interest in how we manage one of the most common welfare issues in popular companion breeds.
