My dog just started coughing earlier today like she is trying to clear her throat or hack up something. It started early this morning. It comes and goes. But lasts for about 30 mins or longer before she quits coughing. What could this be and should i take her to her vet?

Poor Carly. It could she has a respiratory infection, or she could have something more serious like heart disease. I do think it's important to have her checked out by a vet, and I would take her into one tomorrow. Best of luck.
