It’s that time of year!
In the same way that humans have seasons for flus and coughs, so do dogs. Typically, anytime the weather changes from colder to warm or warmer to cold, respiratory viruses rear their ugly head. Being in close quarters with other dogs can exacerbate the spread, so please make sure, before bringing your dog to playcare or to board that they are up-to-date on their respiratory virus vaccines, such as canine flu and canine cough. (bordetella) We continually disinfect throughout the day with non-toxic products that eliminate bacteria and viruses on surfaces; however, because all respiratory viruses are airborne, there is the possibility that your dog could contract a cough when exposed. lf your dog develops a cough, please keep them at home and contact your vet for their recommendations for treatment.
