Your Pug snorts when they’re excited because of their flat-faced (brachycephalic) anatomy. Their short noses and narrow airways make it harder to breathe efficiently, especially during excitement. When they get worked up, they might inhale quickly, causing those adorable snorting sounds. It’s usually harmless and just part of their quirky charm. However, if the snorting seems excessive or they struggle to breathe, it could be reverse sneezing or a sign of respiratory issues. Keep them calm, and if you’re ever worried, consult your vet to rule out any airway problems. Otherwise, it’s just their happy way of expressing themselves! 😊
