We have started seeing more dogs with Canine Infectious Cough (Kennel Cough) again and heading into the Thanksgiving weekend soon it's important dog owners are aware so we don't take something unexpected home from the long weekend. Or worse, be that person in the family whose dog makes all the other dogs sick! These dogs are presenting initially with what owners describe as "throat clearing" and then progressing to regurgitation, fevers and really not feeling well. Not a lot of coughing. Some of the dogs have had current vaccinations for kennel cough, some have not. Please avoid the dog parks, high traffic dog areas and dog interactions in general if your dog has any symptoms. I typically advise my clients that their dog should be symptom free for at least ten days before they reintegrate into dog society. If you have any questions or concerns about your pet please reach out to us. (photo is from our Kids Camp Archives - this is Wall-E. He doesn't have kennel cough here).
