When a dog coughs up clear mucus and membrane-like material, it may indicate respiratory irritation, possible ingestion of something indigestible, or even an infection. While some mild cases resolve naturally, it’s essential to remain vigilant for any signs of lethargy, continued vomiting, or difficulty breathing. If you notice any of these symptoms or if you're in doubt, reaching out to a veterinarian is the best course of action.
