My dog doesn't seem like she has a cough, but for a while now, every now and then she acts like she's got something stuck in her throat, and sometimes she makes a noise when taking a deep breath or stretching. She doesn't seem unwell though as she still likes to do her usual things.

This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or eventually to a chronic tracheal inflammation (inflammatory, allergic, infective like kennel cough). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
