Sometimes symptoms of a cold in a dog are really indicative of a different illness.

Some serious diseases can give them these symptoms including distemper and bordetella (kennel cough) if they are not up to date on their vaccinations.

Chronic coughing in a dog can also be a sign of heart problems, especially if the coughing occurs when they are excited, playing hard, or especially active. Heart worms can cause some cold-like symptoms, too, especially in mosquito season and if they have not been on preventive medicine.

They cough when they have an obstruction or foreign body in their throat or windpipe (trachea).

They may just be coughing to clear their throats and sneezing because they got dust up their noses, but be sure to have your vet examine them. Keep them separate from other dogs and give them their own separate food and water bowls, keep them dry and warm in good shelter, keep them quiet and calm, and make sure they have plenty of very fresh and clear water at all times.

If you have not yet, ask your dog's vet. Sometimes symptoms like a cold in a dog can represent serious disease or infections.

Can you give a dog cold medicine while they are nursing?

A dog should never receive any medication which wasn't prescribed or recommended for it by your Vet.
