What is Kennel Cough?

Kennel Cough is an upper respiratory infection. Although it is not fatal, it does produce a dry, hacking cough, sometimes followed by vomiting, gagging as the dog tries to clear its throat. Your dog can get this at the dog park, daycare, a casual encounter while walking around the neighborhood and even at the veterinarian’s office. All dogs are susceptiable, but at Dogtown we try to minimize the possibility. It is important to know that even if your dog has the bordatella vaccine, it is still possible for your pet to contract kennel cough.
