However, if your dog's sneezing is frequent and accompanied by snorting or signs of congestion, it may indicate respiratory issues or an infection, such as canine flu. Monitoring her symptoms is important. If they persist or get worse, a veterinary consultation is recommended to rule out infections or other underlying health issues.
