Nothing - a chronic cough tends to be noninfectious. However, if the coughing is relatively new, is getting worse or the dog is starting to cough and then swallow something, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian for an examination. Causes of chronic coughing can include cancer (particularly in older dogs), chronic infection, sterile bronchitis and anatomic malformations.

∙ 14y agoDogs do not cough except for an occasional attempt to dislodge something in the throat. Regular coughing/chuffing in a dog is a sign of something more serious going on and the dog should be seen by a veterinarian.

∙ 12y agoyes; take him to a vet. or her, if its a girl. The above answer is vitally important but not in enough detail. If yours is a small dog, especially a Maltese, one of the most common causes of a cough is congestive Heart disease. Caught early enough, appropriate medication can extend a dog's life substantially. However, left untended, this condition will result in a very unpleasant death for your beloved pet. Make SURE your vet listens carefully for a heart murmur and if you feel at all uncertain about their qualifications, take your little dog to a veterinary cardiologist ASAP. I have lost 2 dear pets to this condition which was not correctly diagnosed until it was too late.
