If a dog throws up it could be any number of things from an upset stomach to a serious illness. A soft, dry cough is initial symptom for a dog with heart worm. Take note of any signs or symptoms your dog has. Check to see if your dog has a temperature or is experiencing chest pain or is having trouble breathing. If you have any concerns don't hesitate to call your vet or take your dog in to be tested.

Take him to the vet. One of the more common reasons for an ongoing cough, besides kennel cough, is heart worms or congestive heart failure. The heart worms can cause the heart failure. There is a simple test to find out. It only takes minutes. If you ignore the problem, it could cost your dog his life. If it is not heart worms or CHF, the vet can narrow it down, and let you know what else the problem is.
Can a dog get worms when left at the groomers?
It would seem to be rather unlikely that a dog could pick up worms while at a groomer. I suppose if it had access to food or feces from another dog while it was there they could possibly pick up worms. It is very common for dogs to have worms and they should be checked regularly. Puppies need to be wormed as they often have worms even while nursing from the dam.
