The Pet Owner’s Guide to Kennel Cough

MaxPets
  • The best way to prevent kennel cough is to make sure your dog is up to date on their vaccines, especially the Bordetella vaccine, which is specifically designed to protect against kennel cough.
  • If your dog is going to be in a situation where they may be exposed to kennel cough, such as a boarding kennel or dog park, it’s a good idea to ask your veterinarian for a preventive medication, such as a nasal spray or oral antibiotic, to help protect them.
  • If your dog is showing symptoms of kennel cough, such as a dry, hacking cough, it’s important to take them to the veterinarian as soon as possible. The earlier the condition is treated, the better the chances of a full recovery.
  • To help prevent the spread of kennel cough, make sure to practice good hygiene and cleanliness. This means regularly disinfecting surfaces and objects that your dog may come into contact with, such as their toys and bedding.
  • If your dog has kennel cough, it’s important to keep them away from other dogs until they have fully recovered. This will help prevent the spread of the illness and ensure that your dog has the best chance of a speedy recovery.

When it comes to kennel cough, many pet owners have questions about the disease and how to treat it. This article will discuss some of the questions that are commonly asked by pet owners who want to know more about this illness.

Why did my dog get Kennel Cough when vaccinated?

Kennel CoughThere are two reasons why dogs get Kennel cough. First, it can be caused by a virus that is transmitted through direct contact with an infected animal or through contact with an infected environment. Second, it can be caused by bacteria that are passed from one animal to another.

What are the first symptoms?

Dogs that have kennel cough often develop a cough, sneezing, and runny nose. They also may experience a fever, which can cause them to shake. If they have been vaccinated against Kennel cough, they may not have any of these symptoms.

How long does the vaccine last?

Most vaccines for Kennel cough last between 3 and 6 months. It depends on the type of vaccine that was given to the dog. The longer the duration, the more likely it is that the vaccine will protect your dog from getting the illness.

Do Vaccines Cover Kennel Cough?

No, they do not. They only prevent the dog from being exposed to the virus or bacteria that causes the illness. Your dog can still get Kennel cough if he gets it from other dogs or from an environment where the virus or bacteria is present.

How do vets test for Kennel Cough?

Vets usually use a combination of tests to determine whether your dog has Kennel cough. They may perform blood tests to check for antibodies, which indicate that your dog has had the disease. They may also perform a nasal swab, which allows them to see if there are any viruses present.

When Should I Take My Dog to the Vet?

If your dog is coughing, then it is best to take him to the vet right away. It is better to catch it early rather than wait until it has progressed to a point where it is more difficult to treat.
