My dog has a dry cough. When should I worry and see a vet?

Question

My dog has developed a dry cough. It seems to stop if I massage her throat and isn’t always constant. Is this serious? Do I need to have her seen by our veterinarian?

Dr. Elizabeth · Accepted Answer

Pets can cough for many reasons. If she coughs for more than 3 days, if she gets worse or if you see other symptoms of illness, I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian. Until them, keep her calm so she doesn't bark or pant heavily. I hope this helps.
