• Pediatric robitussen is being used for puppies to help soothe throat tissues that have become sore due to the inflammation of the throat that occurs from the infection. Just like we would do for our children cough syrups are being used on pets. Be careful with this one and if in doubt call your vet for directions.
• Certain herbal remedies are also being used to expel mucus. One is plantango lanceolata .
• Another herbal remedy being used to clear mucus is Bryonia C6 which is also reported to be able to soothe sore throat tissues.
• For small puppies many people also use honey to soothe irritated throats. The honey can be mixed in the pet’s water bowl. Most report using this first before the cough syrups.
• Run a humidifier to help keep the air moist or boil a pan of water to add moisture.
• Give your pet a vitamin supplement to boost their immune system and practice good nutrition.
• Some people are reporting using Vitamin C but be cautious here as too much has been known to cause irritable bowel syndrome.
• Loosen collars – your pet’s throat is sore and irritated.
• You can blend together essential oils like Ravensare, Spike Lavender, Eucalyptus globules and Eucalyptus radiate to make a spray (diluted with water) and then spray this in the air around your pet to stop the coughing and allow your pet to breathe easier.

If your dog’s cough has progressed to the point of an infection your vet should be consulted and will probably prescribe an antibiotic such as ampicillin.
