[QUOTE=MauiGirl;4201433]The first thing anyone should do with a new puppy is take it to the vet asap for a thorough check up. You can discuss these episodes with the vet to make sure it is not something more serious.

Two of my dogs have similar episodes that sound like gagging, and it happens when they get startled or over excited, although there are other causes. It is a minor spasm condition, and usually stops on it's own within less than a minute. Only a vet can tell you for sure. Here are some links to info about reverse sneezing, in case it is helpful.

Thank you! That's what he's doing it lasts not even a minute and its not frequent or long like kennel cough and he's only done it in the car and then when he was swamped by 3 munchkins

he has a vet appt in 4 days for his next shots. If it gets worse though she's taking him sooner.
