Kennel cough is on the rise... here's what you need to know.

Kennel cough (infectious tracheobronchitis) is a highly contagious respiratory illness that spreads quickly anywhere dogs socialize — daycare, boarding, grooming salons, training classes, dog parks, even vet waiting rooms.

✅ Common Signs & Symptoms

A dry, honking cough (often sounds like a goose honk)
Gagging or retching, especially after coughing
Sneezing and runny nose
Mild lethargy
Reduced appetite (sometimes)
Watery eyes

Most dogs still act fairly normal, but the cough can be persistent and annoying — and it can last 1–3+ weeks.

🦠 How Kennel Cough Spreads

Kennel cough is spread through:
Coughing / sneezing droplets in the air
Direct nose-to-nose contact

Shared items like:
-Water bowls
-Toys
-Leashes
-Kennels/Crates
-Grooming tools

🚨 Even dogs that “seem fine” can spread it while incubating or recovering.

What You Can Do

Take your dog to the vet for the Bordetella vaccine for kennel cough, if they're not already vaccinated.

If you suspect kennel cough:
✅ Isolate your dog from other dogs immediately
✅ Rest & hydration are key
✅ Use a harness instead of a collar to avoid irritating the throat
✅ Keep them in a calm environment (avoid heavy exercise)

📌 Call your vet ASAP if your dog has:

Trouble breathing
Fever
Loss of appetite
Thick/yellow/green discharge
Lethargy that seems more than mild
Cough lasting more than a couple of weeks
Any symptoms in a puppy, senior, or immunocompromised dog

Kennel cough is usually treatable, but it can develop into pneumonia in higher-risk dogs — so don’t ignore worsening symptoms.

TUESDAY TIP 🐾

Persistent licking, scratching, or chewing by your pet should not be dismissed as a simple habit. Such behaviors may indicate underlying issues including allergies, flea infestations, yeast infections, dry skin, or irritation, and can lead to the rapid development of hot spots. If your dog is incessantly scratching:

• Examine the paws, abdomen, armpits, and base of the tail for signs of concern.
• Check for redness, swelling, or hair loss in affected areas.
• Look for evidence of open sores, scabs, or discharge.
• Inspect for the presence of fleas, flea dirt, or other external parasites.
• Observe if your pet is excessively licking, biting, or chewing specific spots.
• Note any unusual odors, which could indicate infection.
• Monitor your pet’s general behavior for signs of discomfort or restlessness.
• Assess the skin for dryness, flakiness, or changes in texture.
• Pay attention to changes in appetite or activity level that may accompany skin issues.
Contact a veterinarian immediately if you observe open sores, discharge, pronounced redness, or continuous chewing.
