Expert Answer

A Poodle snoring is usually caused by sleep posture, respiratory issues, or obesity. Some sleeping positions restrict the Poodle’s airway, causing snoring; in this case, gently adjusting its sleeping posture is enough. In addition, some respiratory problems in Poodles, such as tracheomalacia, can also cause snoring.

Moreover, obesity is one of the main causes of Poodle snoring. When a Poodle is too obese, its throat is surrounded by fat and loose soft tissue, causing difficult breathing and making snoring more likely.
