🐾Moe has something important he’d like to talk to you about…🐾
We’re seeing a rise in cases of kennel cough lately, so let’s revisit what you need to know…
💨 Kennel cough is a contagious respiratory infection that causes a dry, hacking cough that can sometimes sound like there’s something “stuck in the throat.” It can spread quickly anywhere dogs are in close contact: boarding kennels, groomers, dog parks, or daycare.
🚨 Symptoms can present as:
- Persistent dry cough or “honking” sound
- Gagging or retching
- Mild fever or nasal discharge
- Decreased energy or appetite
💉 Prevention:
Vaccination helps REDUCE the risk and severity of infection. Please isolate your dog if it is showing symptoms. Most cases are mild, but puppies, seniors, or dogs with other health issues may need medical attention.
‼️ Please note! If you are bringing your dog to the clinic with KC symptoms, please leave your dog in the car and let us know you are here. ‼️
