Community Health Update: Kennel Cough (Bordetella)
Our clinic has seen a noticeable increase in kennel cough cases, with four confirmed this week alone. Kennel cough is a highly contagious respiratory illness that spreads easily in environments where dogs come into close contact with one another.
Vaccination is an important preventive measure, particularly for dogs who visit high-traffic locations such as boarding facilities, grooming salons, dog parks, training classes, or daycare. While no vaccine can guarantee complete protection, it significantly reduces the risk and severity of illness.
We encourage all dog owners to review their pet’s vaccination status and consider updating their Bordetella vaccine if it is overdue or not currently part of their pet’s routine care.
If you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please contact the clinic. Keeping our community’s pets healthy is our top priority! 🦊
