My dog is about eight years old and sometimes, when he coughs, it sounds like he is coughing up a hairball! He coughs like this about two times every fifteen minutes or he coughs when he is running.
No it’s not normal. This could be anything from Heartworms to Congestive Heart Failure. Take the dog to the Vet for a proper diagnosis.

He could be having problems with his trachea, but I would mention it to a vet the next well visit. It also could be that your dog is eating the wrong food. I would recommend Blue Longevity! Sadly it could also be an internal tumor or cancer even possibly heart worm. Sadly it could be fatal, but I hope very much that it isn’t. My dog died of an internal tumor. I would visit the vet as soon as possible! Good Luck!

I would take him to a vet. It could be something serious. Better safe than sorry.

Could be kennel cough. My yorkie does that because the doctor gave her the kennel cough vaccine, and it’s like taking a flu shot..so it’ll take about 2-3 weeks for her to get better from the virus. She coughs a lot and it’s really sad but there’s not much we can do. I called the vet and she said that the vaccine just needs to run it’s course. So as much as I hate to say it, take him to the vet. I’m sure you know how bad it sucks when you have a cough, he feels the same way! Good luck =)
