I'm wondering if your dog actually has a productive cough - coughing can look very similar to attempted vomiting in dogs. It would be unusual for a dog to be trying to vomit but still have an appetite. I would recommend making an appointment to see your veterinarian - they may be able to help determine if this is a cough or if your dog is truly attempting to vomit and can recommend tests or treatments depending on what's going on.
