Hi there and thank you for using PetCoach to address your concern. I do not recommend using any over the counter cough suppressants in dogs due to potential side effects and them not being very effective. I recommend hydrocodone or butorphanol to help suppress coughing. I would contact your veterinarian to discuss this further as the heart medications may need to be adjusted to help stop the coughing. Periodically, heart medications need to be adjusted on their dose if coughing becomes more frequent. Sometimes, we cannot do much for the cough due to the heart putting pressure on the trachea. Cough medications can help to a certain degree but may not eliminate the cough 100% of the time.
