Try to increase the immune system of your dog by adding vitamin C to your dog’s diet.

Try to alleviate the dog’s symptoms by creating a humid environment. Place a humidifier or vaporizer close to the dogs living quarters. This will help relieve coughing from the dry air.

As well, try giving your dog some honey to ease the sore throat.

Keep your dog indoors as much as possible away from the cold weather.
