A little cough now and then might not seem like a big deal - but in some cases, it could signal a more serious issue. From kennel cough to heart disease, respiratory infections or allergies, coughing in pets shouldn't be ignored.
💡 When should you be concerned?
🔹 The cough is frequent or worsening
🔹 It sounds wet, honking, or gag-like
🔹 Your pet seems tired, isn’t eating, or has laboured breathing
🔹 They’re a puppy, senior, or small breed dog (more vulnerable)
🩺 At Cottage Vet, we’ll help determine the cause and create a treatment plan to keep your pet breathing easy.
