Why is my dog sneezing and coughing every morning when he wakes up?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Poochie. Poor girl. There could be a couple of things going on with her causing this cough. It could be a respiratory infection, it could be a collapsing trachea, it could be kennel cough, or it could be something more serious like heart disease. I'd have her seen by a vet in the morning for this problem. The vet can diagnose what is causing it, and can treat her. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is possibly due to an upper respiratory infection. This is something that if confirmed, your veterinarian could prescribe antibiotics. I recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Best of luck!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Gucci. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian as he may have an upper respiratory tract infection. It is characterized by a hacking gagging cough that may produce a white foamy material. If this is the case, he will likely need an antibiotic. Be sure to keep him home and away from other dogs as he may be contagious. I hope this information helps!

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Trigo is adorable! It is concerning that Trigo has lost his appetite. The coughing and sneezing, especially if accompanied by nasal discharge can be caused by an upper respiratory infection or even pneumonia. These conditions require a veterinary exam and potentially bloodwork and x-rays to diagnose and treat. I recommend having Trigo seen by a vet as soon as possible. He should be seen immediately if he is unresponsive or you believe he is having trouble breathing. I hope all is well!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. Poor Scottie! He could have a respiratory infection, kennel cough, or heart disease causing his coughing. I would rest him tonight, keep him warm and comfortable, and bring him into the vet first thing the morning. The vet can diagnose what is causing the cough, and can treat him. Best of luck.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Coughing can be a sign of many conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, heart disease, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Harley evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Likely diagnostics to be performed include thoracic radiographs and bloodwork. Treatment would be dependent on findings. Good luck and have a good night!

This could be allergy related. You can give 1/2 tablet of adult 25mg Benadryl twice a day to see if this helps. If the coughing becomes more persistent or doesn't improve I would contact your vet for an exam to ensure her heart sounds okay. I hope this helps!
