What causes dogs to choke and cough after drinking water?

If a dog chokes on drinking water and coughs, it may be that he drinks too quickly and the water enters the trachea, causing him to cough. It is also possible that the dog's nose came into contact with the water when he drank it, so he choked and coughed. However, under normal circumstances, dogs rarely drink water and cough, except of course those dog breeds with specific facial structures.

Tip:

We need to pay attention when raising dog breeds with specific facial structures to avoid long-term strenuous exercise and try not to make them excited.
