Like so many dog parents around the country, our veterinary team at PETIQ is closely monitoring recent reports of an unknown, potentially fatal respiratory illness affecting dogs in certain states.

Symptoms of the mystery illness include chronic coughing that can last for weeks, sometimes developing into pneumonia that can lead into a rapid decline of the dog's health. Other symptoms include sneezing, nasal and/or eye discharge, and lethargy.

While the cause is still being investigated at this time, our team is encouraging all dog parents to be cautious and monitor their pets closely for any symptoms. Here are a few tips from our veterinarians:

☑As the illness appears to be infectious, reduce contact between your dog and large numbers of unknown dogs at places like dog parks, dog daycares, or training facilities.
☑Avoid communal water bowls at dog parks, dog daycares, and other public places.
☑Ensure that your dog is current on all primary vaccinations, including canine influenza, parainfluenza (respiratory illness), and Bordetella (also known as "kennel cough"). While these vaccines may not prevent a dog from becoming ill, they have been confirmed to lessen the effects of the illness.
☑If you must board your dog at a veterinary clinic or boarding facility, confirm that the facility requires all visiting dogs to be current on primary vaccinations.
☑If your dog is exhibiting any of the above symptoms, contact a veterinary clinic immediately.

Should you be worried about your dog? We talked to experts about the mystery dog illness spreading to some U.S. states.

As well as preventing them from coming back for up to a month—including eliminating flea eggs—it also keeps other annoyances like lice and mosquitoes away.
