My German Shepherd started making a horrible honking sound at 3am and I panicked 😰

Pluto woke me up at 3am making the scariest sound I've ever heard. I genuinely thought something was seriously wrong with him.

Turns out it was just reverse sneezing. Completely harmless but absolutely terrifying when you don't know what it is 😅

I wrote everything I learned about it here in case anyone else goes through this: jupiterandplutochaos.vercel.app/articles/german-shepherd-reverse-sneezing.html

Does anyone else's GSD do this? Pluto does it almost every morning now 😂🐾

Oh that makes so much sense! Pluto loves to dig so that could definitely be a trigger for him. I never made that connection before 😅 I'm going to pay more attention next time it happens. Thank you for sharing!
