A persistent cough in a dog, especially one that sounds like throat clearing, can indicate several conditions ranging from kennel cough (a common respiratory infection) to more serious heart issues, tracheal collapse, or even allergies. It's important to have your dog examined by a veterinarian to determine the cause. They will listen to your dog's heart and lungs, and possibly recommend chest X-rays or blood tests. Early diagnosis is key for effective treatment, particularly if it's a condition like heart disease.
