Kennel Cough is an extremely contagious disease. In most cases, affected dogs have a history of having spent time in close proximity with other dogs. The infection affects the upper respiratory tract of dogs. Here are steps that you can take to protect your pet from kennel cough:
l Have your pet vaccinated against kennel cough. This is the most effective way to protect dogs against infection.
l Keep your dog healthy with a lifestage-appropriate premium quality diet and regular exercise.
l Minimize your dog’s exposure to environmental stressors because stress has a negative effect on his immune system.
l There should be good ventilation in your home, especially in rooms where your dog likes to spend a good part of the day.
l As much as possible, avoid places where your dog can have close contact with other dogs such as in dog parks, boarding kennels, etc.
