Can dogs eat cough syrup if they cough?

Yes, dogs can be fed pediatric cough syrup when they cough, and adult dogs can be fed adult cough syrup. Owners need to pay attention to the dosage when feeding and avoid overdose. You can use a syringe without a needle to inhale the cough syrup and feed it to your pet. Be careful not to choke the dog. After continuous feeding for a period of time, the dog's cough will get better.
