I have tried benadryl already and it didnt seem to help...I thought it may have been due to something that he ate that he was allergic to, but he dont have any itching..Every once in a while this will happen and it will clear up about 1/2 a day later...And ideas??

if it is a hacking continuous cough it could be kennel cough. Get to the vet to be sure. I have experience with kennel cough and it is very miserable to the dog, not to mention annoying to the owner.

Our Shih Tzu recently died and she had a hacking cough that ended up being a collapsed trachea from congestive heart failure. You need to discontinue the Benadryl and go see your vet. Coughing in a dog can be allergies but as in our case be something really serious. You need to ask for a chest x-ray to be done as well.

There are several things that can give your dog a cough. I would not hazard a guess without more info. The dog should be seen by a vet.

Your dog might be getting into something like paper and it gets stuck in his throat, or he may have a cold. Call your vet.

Has he been around other dogs? It could be kennel cough if he has. If he has you need to take him to a vet to get antibiotics.

since he is a little dog, you need to get him the dog food with the smaller bits kibbles. it is probably too big for his throat and he isn't chewing it right.
