What is Kennel Cough?
Canine cough is a condition of the dog's respiratory tract. Dogs of all ages can be affected and signs include a harsh, dry convulsive cough.
Dogs are at risk when and wherever they gather i.e. shows, training classes, in the park, kennels and even vet's waiting rooms!
What Treatments Are Available?
The illness usually lasts about 10 days, once its started, little can be done to prevent the disease, you simply make the animal as comfortable as possible and try to control the cough with antibiotics and cough medication.
We recommend vaccination for your dog, however please be advised that your pet could still become infected.
