⚠️ Kennel Cough Warning ⚠️
😷 Unfortunately over the past week we have had a couple of our daycare dogs come down with canine cough, commonly known as “kennel cough”. We have had 3 confirmed cases all from dogs on the same day and we are confident we are already past the worst of it.
😷This is an airborne virus and is highly contagious.
😷Can be picked up anywhere that dogs have been with it, e.g. streets, parks, beaches, daycares, dog walkers, dog home stays and kennels etc.
😷Vaccinations do not stop your dog getting this, but it lessens their symptoms, so please ensure your vaccinations are up to date.
😷 Symptoms such as hacking (like something is stuck), a cough, vomiting (usually phlegm ), lethargic, runny nose. They usually last for a couple of days, then it’s a quick turn around.
😷 Dogs who get it should stay home for up to 7 days. We will keep in close contact with you. Dogs can still be infectious after symptoms stop, so a stand down period is necessary to stop the spread.
😷 Vets can offer assistance to those cases who have a bad cough, so do not hesitate to contact your vets if you have any concerns.
❤️ Please if you notice any of these symptoms, strange sounds or your pup is off, do not send them to school and get in touch with James.
