Our older dog has allergies.He didnt have them untill he was 3 now he is 7. My vet at banefield said that we could give him benedryl. So every now and then we give him a benedryl and that works for him. You could try it but if this is something that's persistant i would see the vet. You may even ask your vet before you give your dog benedryl, as it could be something different like a cold. If it is a cold you can try taking you dog in the bathroom and giving him steam treatments. You can even do a humidifier with eucalyptis oil. Try also this natural product, can be used for pets and people and it is a immune system booster. I used it on our bruce when the vet meds didnt work for him. Its called silvix. You can go to any pet holsitic or natural food store to find it. hope any of this helps

If you've been to a dog park recently, they may have picked up canine influenza. Just a thought.

Try really hard to think of what is new in your house. Even a change in food has repurcussions if the new food is not introduced slowly. Good luck.

I agree w/Diane. Something has been introduced to their environment that is causing this otherwise I would think it doubtful that multiple dogs would be affected

It could be dust particles, but I would take them to the vet. It is better to be safe than sorry.
You may be using a new household product that is irritating their respiratory system. Are they from the same litter? Could they be developing asthma?
