Kennel cough is like the ‘common cold’, a condition caused by several different viruses and bacteria under the same umbrella term. Most dogs recover on their own within 1-3 weeks with rest and supportive care. 🐕
We only prescribe antibiotics if there's a secondary bacterial infection or your dog is at high risk of complications.
If you think your dog might have kennel cough, call us first before popping down to the clinic.
