Kennel cough: the facts

Share this post

Kennel cough is an upper respiratory infection caused by both a bacteria and a virus. The condition is also known as tracheobronchitis and affects the lungs, windpipe and voice box.

Vaccination against infectious tracheobronchitis (kennel cough) is recommended.

All dogs should be protected against the unpleasant effects of this whooping cough-like disease. It can be spread whenever dogs get together, and a single dog can cause an outbreak of infection.

Clients on our Healthcare plan receive 15% off the cost of the yearly KC vaccination.

If you have concerns about your pet or would like more information about kennel cough, please call us on 0191 2841711.
