Is there a difference between " snarling" and "growling"? Especially about dogs' barking.

Thanks

Just for fun:

If someone says, "My dogs are barking," it means that their feet are hurting (say after a long walk).

But seriously, if an animal such as a dog growls, it makes a frightening or unfriendly low noise. If an animal snarls, it makes a similar angry sound in its throat but it also shows its teeth.

Growling and snarling are quite different from barking.

Snarling is more nasal. Growling is more from the throat.
