Kennel Cough: A Common but Preventable Illness in Dogs

If you pick up your dog from daycare or a kennel and they have a fever, cough, sneeze or gag, your dog may have contracted kennel cough. While kennel cough is generally mild, it can lead to pneumonia in vulnerable dogs if not treated swiftly. Prevention is simple: vaccines, good hygiene, and isolation of infected dogs are easy ways to keep your dog healthy.
