Dog is coughing but has no runny nose
Many diseases can cause coughing in dogs, including respiratory infections, pharyngitis, lung abscess, bronchopneumonia, and distemper. Owners can first observe whether the dog's urination and defecation, energy level, and appetite are normal; if everything is normal, there is likely no major problem and it may simply be due to weather changes. At the same time, carefully check the dog's throat for any foreign objects. If the cough is severe, promptly take the dog to a veterinary hospital for examination to identify the specific cause and provide targeted treatment.
What does a dog’s dry cough and retching mean?

Coughing up white foam is usually phlegm from a respiratory infection caused by chills, bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, or chronic bronchopneumonia; retching may be throat discomfort or gut infection.

If weak, poor appetite, lethargic, or feverish, check the lungs and rule out contagious disease.

Why Is My Cat Coughing Up Phlegm?
Coughing up phlegm in cats is usually caused by a respiratory infection, with common causes including bacterial bronchopneumonia and herpesvirus-induced infectious rhinotracheitis. Your vet can run viral tests and bacterial cultures on nasal secretions to identify the infection and choose the right antibiotic. If a clinic visit is not possible, you can temporarily give your cat anti-inflammatory and respiratory-support medication at home while keeping it warm.
What does a dog’s cough indicate?
A cough is usually a sign of respiratory infection and comes in two types: wet and dry. A wet cough sounds like something is in the throat with breathlessness and occasional white mucus/foam — from pharyngitis, lung abscess, bronchopneumonia, distemper. A dry cough is crisp and strong with little secretion — from chronic bronchitis, pleurisy, or a throat/trachea foreign object. Frequent coughing needs a vet.
