This will depend upon what is causing the cough. Equine influenza can, under some circumstances, be transmitted to other mammals - there is an H3N5 influenza that was found in racing greyhounds in Florida that originated from the racing Thoroughbreds in the area. A bacterial infection, such as a Streptococcus or Staphylococcus, might jump across species depending upon the strain.
To be safe, I would suggest keeping a close eye on the barn cats and keeping your dogs out of the barn until the infection is brought under control. In general, about 24 hours after the horse's fever has broken, the horse is no longer infectious to other species.
