🚨 Kennel Cough Alert! 🐾
Got a dog? Watch for a harsh, hacking “goose honk” cough, sneezing, runny nose, or lethargy—these are signs of kennel cough (canine infectious tracheobronchitis), caused by Bordetella bronchiseptica bacteria and viruses like canine parainfluenza and canine adenovirus. Kennel Cough is spread by airborne droplets, shared items, or close contact with other dogs who are contagious (kennels, doggy daycare, parks).
Quick tips:
✅ Call your vet for guidance
🛏️ Rest & hydration
🐕 Harness > collar to protect the throat
🚫 Keep your pup away from other dogs until fully recovered
Prevention:
💉 Vaccinate, especially for daycare or boarding dogs
🐾 Limit exposure to crowded dog areas
Stay safe and keep tails wagging! 💛
