David Elbeze, DVM, MRCVS · Accepted Answer

Coughing can be caused by several reasons, the most common is a viral infection called kennel cough which is not considered life threatening (sometimes require antibiotics). Other reasons include heart disease, heartworm and lung infections. I would recommend taking him to the vet in order to get it checked and treated as soon as possible.
