With Thor and Norbert, I'd say 1-3 times a day, and some days more or not at all. Milo on the other hand, has always been quite sneezey. He probably sneezes easily 5+ times a day; some days not as much, sometimes more. I've read they can sneeze due to allergens and common dust like we do, but his is so often, which makes me think there may be more to it.

I do notice Norbert and Thor sneeze a bit more when they're resting, which might be because their faces are closer to the bedding and dust? I am looking into switch to fleece due to costs, and I'm also hoping it may help their noses.
