When you hear your pet start coughing and sneezing, it can be concerning. There are many potential causes of coughing and sneezing in dogs and cats and the severity can be indicated by factors such as their frequency and the pet’s age, for instance. In this blog, I will talk about symptoms to keep note of, when you should visit the vet, common causes, and natural support.
Should You Visit The Vet If Your Pet Is Coughing And Sneezing?
These symptoms can be caused by a variety of factors.
Since these symptoms can be caused by a variety of factors, a thorough history and physical examination made by a veterinarian can help decide which ones are most likely to be affecting your little one. An examination can also help the vet decide which diagnostic tests will be the best to recommend and which therapies are most likely to be effective. If your pet is coughing or sneezing frequently for more than a few days, a visit to the vet is highly recommended.
Determining the Cause
The information that you share with the veterinarian can also be very helpful in pinpointing the cause of coughing and/or sneezing in your little one. Keep note of information such as the nature of the cough and/or sneeze, when it occurs, and if anything brings on these symptoms.
For instance, pets with disorders such as heart conditions, collapsing trachea, and edema in the lungs tend to cough more at night than during the day. The pet can also cough following a period of excitement, exercising, drinking water, eating. This kind of information can indicate if the issue might be located in the trachea, heart, or esophagus, for instance.
Sometimes, the cough can be moist, which could indicate accumulation of fluid in the airways or in the lungs and some coughs can also be dry. Infectious diseases, bacterial and fungal infections of the lungs, asthma, and parasites (such as heartworms) can also cause these symptoms. It is important to test your little one for those as well to rule them out.
Tests that may be recommended to identify the cause of coughs and sneezes can include different blood tests, stool exams, radiography (X-rays), ultrasound, electrocardiogram, and bronchoscopy, among others.
Common Conditions That Cause Coughing And Sneezing
As mentioned above, medical examination and testing are needed to determine the cause of coughing and sneezing, but here are some conditions that are often related to these symptoms.
Tracheal Collapse
Tracheal collapse is a condition that occurs mostly in middle-aged or senior, or overweight, small breed dogs. Tracheal collapse is rare in cats. The cough is often described as sounding like a “goose honking” and the treatment often includes weight reduction, the use of cough suppressants, and some sedatives. Surgery can also be indicated in some cases.
At NHV, we have a kit that can be very beneficial for this condition, the Collapsed Trachea Super Support kit. This kit contains four of our all-natural supplements (Resp-Aid, Turmeric, Lesstress, and Petomega 3) to support healthy breathing, help reduce uncomfortable symptoms, and promote cartilage health.
Kennel Cough
Kennel cough (or infectious tracheobronchitis) is another condition that has coughing as one of the main symptoms. It can affect both cats and dogs and can be caused by several infectious organisms, including bacteria and viruses. Some veterinarians can prescribe medication such as cough suppressants for this condition.
We have a kit that can be very helpful and that can also be used alongside the vet’s prescribed treatment, the NHV Kennel Cough Kit. This kit contains two products, Resp-Aid and Stimmune. These two supplements work together to encourage respiratory health, help fight infection, and support the immune system.
Heart Conditions
As mentioned before, coughs can be caused by heart conditions too. An enlarged heart can put pressure on the airways causing cough and a failing heart can lead to edema in the lungs.
For extra support for the heart and lungs, you can add the Cardiovascular Super Support Health kit, Resp-Aid, and Natures Immuno to their regimen. The Cardiovascular kit contains Hearty-Heart and Turmeric which both promote healthy heart and circulatory function, can help with symptoms of heart conditions such as lack of energy, and have properties that can help with inflammation and discomfort. Resp-Aid is our main supplement for respiratory support and is formulated with herbs that have properties that can be beneficial for reducing coughing. Natures Immuno is a blend of medicinal mushrooms that have benefits for many parts of the body including the heart and lungs.
Allergies
Airborne allergens are particles in the air including mold, dust, pollen, and smoke. All of these can cause allergic lung disorders, sneezing, runny nose, and coughing. For coughing caused by allergies, it’s a good idea to use Resp-Aid with Stimmune. You can also find these supplements in our Asthma Kit for Respiratory Relief.
Cancer
Especially in older pets, cancer has to be considered. The lungs receive a large amount of blood that flows through the rest of the body. Lung cancers in dogs and cats most often originate from other organs and are transferred from those organs through the blood to the lungs. For these cases, it might be a good idea to add supplements such as ES-Clear (our main supplement for cancer support), Resp-Aid, and Natures Immuno to the treatment prescribed by the veterinarian.
Treatment
Treatment of coughing and sneezing pets depends upon the disease diagnosed and may include different medications. Our supplements are safe to be given with prescribed medications. It’s important to keep in mind that we recommend giving the supplements 2 hours before giving the medications as this will give the body time for the tinctures to start taking effect, which will help support their body when taking pharmaceuticals.

Seeing your little one battling cardiovascular and heart disease in dogs and cats is distressing and worrying. We understand that it is impossible just to stand and watch them suffer. That’s why our Pet Experts have bundled two natural supplements that work together and can be used alongside traditional medication as extra support for your little one.
Our Cardiovascular Super Support Health Kit can help support the cardiovascular system, alleviate heart disease symptoms, and reduce any discomfort heart conditions may cause. This bundle contains our primary support for heart health in furkiddos - Hearty Heart and Turmeric, which offers excellent antioxidant and cardiovascular support.
All our supplements are free of added preservatives, additives, flavorings, or artificial colors. They are veterinarian formulated, and have been used by pets worldwide for over twenty years.
What is Cardiovascular (Heart) Disease in Dogs and Cats?
Cardiovascular (cardiac) disease is an umbrella term for conditions in your furkid’s circulatory system (blood vessels and especially the heart). Because of this, they are also commonly known as heart diseases.
Over 10% of furkiddos have some kind of cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately, the diseases progress over time if not treated in the early stages. This may eventually lead to heart failure and may even be fatal. That’s why seeking help from veterinary cardiologists is important. You should also visit a vet as soon as you notice clinical signs of heart disease in your beloved furkid.
Symptoms of Cardiovascular (Heart) Disease in Dogs and Cats
There are many types of cardiovascular disease in dogs and cats, and they all show different, particular symptoms. The symptoms may also vary in various breeds and species.
But here are some general signs you should watch out for:
- Difficulty breathing
- Coughing persistently
- Depression
- Abnormal weight changes
- Fatigue and restlessness
- Swollen abdomen
- Loss of appetite
- Collapsing or fainting
Discovering, diagnosing, and treating heart disease sooner can help minimize the damage it causes to your cat or dog’s heart. So, we would like to reiterate the importance of vet consultation and full body examination upon seeing these symptoms.
Common Cardiovascular (Heart) Disease in Dogs and Cats
Let’s learn some common types of heart disease or cardiovascular disease in dogs and cats:
- Valvular disease - when heart valves don’t open or close normally, causing an enlarged heart
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) - when the heart muscle thickens
- Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) - when the muscle in the heart weakens
- Arrhythmias - when the heart beats irregularly
- Congenital heart disease - when furkiddos’ heart anomalies are present at birth
- Heartworm disease - when a parasite infests your little one and attacks their arteries, lungs, and heart
- Pericardial disease - when too much fluid builds up and hinders the proper pumping of blood
Sadly, most heart disease in cats and dogs are incurable. But with treatment and natural support, you can help your little one live a longer and happier life!
How NHV Remedies Support Cardiovascular Disease in Dogs and Cats
Our Cardiovascular Super Support Health Kit can support your little one while taking vet-prescribed medication.
Hearty-Heart, as the name suggests, is our primary support for cardiovascular or heart disease in cats and dogs. The extract supports furkiddos’ cardiovascular system, promotes heart health, and helps with symptoms of cardiovascular disease. The herbs in this formula are well known to help with various heart related symptoms. For example, the herb Pulsatilla helps relieve the constant coughing, restlessness, and respiratory issues that furkids with cardiac disease may experience.
Various other herbs in the supplement, like motherwort, help strengthen your little one’s heart and circulatory system. Hawthorn, in particular, is a well-known heart and vascular tonic. It is often recommended for furriends with heart disease. This herb also may strengthen cardiovascular structures and functions. All the herbs work synergistically to create a balanced formula that is safe to use long-term to support the cardiovascular system.
Another supplement added to the kit is Turmeric. Turmeric is also beneficial for cardiovascular health. The main compound in Turmeric is called curcumin. In addition to supporting the cardiovascular system, curcumin is high in antioxidant properties and may be helpful in scavenging free radicals as well as helping to reduce inflammation.
And what does inflammation have to do with cardiac health?
Inflammation is one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disorders because it may cause blood clots. Therefore, if we reduce inflammation in our furriends, it may protect them from having cardiovascular disease too. That’s why Turmeric can serve as a proactive support for heart disease in dogs and cats.

The NHV Kennel Cough Kit contains natural vet-approved dog kennel cough supplements designed to help prevent and manage the symptoms of Kennel Cough. These herbal remedies not only support coughs and respiratory issues, they also balance the immune system.
Kennel cough, is predominately found in dogs and is a respiratory infection caused by Bordetella bronchiseptica, adenovirus and canine parainfluenza virus. These pathogens attack the cilia lining of the respiratory tract causing inflammation of the upper airway, resulting in a cough. This irritation makes your dog susceptible to secondary infection. Kennel cough is extremely contagious. In some cases, the situation may be complicated by secondary bacterial pneumonia. Extra care is required to prevent pneumonia and improve breathing.
When a dog has kennel cough or has been in contact with an infected animal it is just as important to support their immune system as it is to address the symptoms of the cough itself.
NHV Resp-aid is a dog kennel cough supplement that helps to sooth the upper respiratory tract, reduce inflammation, fight infection and ease congestion.
NHV Stimmune combined with the NHV Resp-aid offers the most benefit and support. This herbal formula is a very effective immune booster. Packed full of herbs that have antibiotic and antiviral properties, Stimmune not only boosts the immune system, but also helps to fight and prevent secondary infections that are commonly associated with kennel cough.
