📢We have seen a sudden increase in KC cases within our community over the past few weeks!🩺🐾🐶

What is Kennel Cough?🤔

🤧💤Distinct Cough: Harsh, dry, hacking, or "honking" sound.
Other Signs: Sneezing, runny nose, eye discharge, and reduced energy. Usually mild, but can lead to lethargy, fever, or pneumonia, especially in puppies and seniors.

🦠Highly Contagious: Spreads rapidly through airborne droplets, direct contact, or contaminated surfaces (bowls, toys).
Commonly caused by Bordetella bronchiseptica bacteria, canine parainfluenza virus, and canine adenovirus type 2.

🏥💊Treatment & Prevention
Veterinary Care: Consult a vet, especially if the cough persists or if symptoms like loss of appetite appear. Treatment may include cough suppressants or antibiotics.
🏡Isolation: Infected dogs should be isolated from other dogs for at least two weeks after symptoms disappear.
💉 The Bordetella vaccine is highly recommended for dogs that socialize frequently (daycare, dog parks).

Home Care Tips:
💤💧Rest & Hydration: Ensure plenty of rest and water.
🐕‍🦺Use a Harness: Switch from a collar to a harness to reduce pressure on the trachea.
Humidity: Use a humidifier to help soothe airways.

🐾 Why We Embrace Fear Free at DVH 🐾

At Dogwood Veterinary Hospital, we believe a trip to the vet shouldn’t be a source of stress for your furry family members. We are deeply committed to the Fear Free philosophy and the emotional well-being of our patients.
To put this commitment into action, every single member of our staff—from reception to our doctors—is individually Fear Free Certified! 🎓✨

What does this mean for your pet?
Our team has personally completed rigorous training to identify and reduce fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS). We use our specialized skills to provide a gentler experience through:

🍭 Distraction & Rewards: Using high-value treats to create positive associations.
🤫 Calmer Communication: Utilizing soft voices and a considerate approach to every exam.
🤝 Gentle Handling: Moving at your pet's pace and prioritizing their comfort every step of the way.
✨ Extra Support for Procedures ✨

As part of our commitment to stress-free visits, we now provide pre-visit medication for patients coming in for routine a-appointments and procedures.
The Goal: To reduce fear and anxiety, allowing for a much smoother visit.

We don't just treat your pet’s physical health—we care about how they feel when they are with us. 💙
