That is unusual to see a dog who is prone to URI. I recommend to have a chest x-ray to look for any abnormalities in the chest like heart enlargement or a pouching esophagus. any abnormalities may increase the potential for infections. other things that may help include feeding a high quality diet (I recommend Royal Canin) and supplementing with an omega 3 fatty acid supplement for dogs. Also use an HEPA air filter, make sure the ducts and vents in the house are properly cleaned and cared for and don't smoke in the house. A humidifier may also help if the air is dry. I hope this helps.
