Kennel cough (infectious tracheobronchitis) is a highly contagious respiratory disease in dogs, often caused by bacteria like Bordetella bronchiseptica and various viruses. It spreads easily in places where dogs gather—such as daycares and dog parks—and is characterized by a distinctive, dry, "honking" cough.

At this time of year, we start to notice lots of posts circulating social media regarding rapeseed; these posts are shared extensively and can understandably worry many dog owners. The posts usually state that rapeseed is highly poisonous to dogs, and can cause signs including haemolytic anaemia, blindness, damaged nervous system, digestive disorders and breathing problems.

The signs mentioned are typically only seen in grazing animals, and most dogs actually remain asymptomatic after exposure to rapeseed. Dogs can develop gastrointestinal upset if they have ingested some of the plant, and there have been reports of skin reactions which resemble burns, but this is extremely rare and does not happen to every dog which comes into contact with it.
