My dog has been sneezing and snoring for the past 4 days. This is not normal for her. Today she started to hack, like she has something is her throat. Should I take her to the vet or is it just a cold?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to something as simple as an allergy to something in the environment or an upper respiratory infection. This may be transient. However, if this continues I recommend that you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Best of luck!
