What is Kennel Cough?
Kennel or Canine Cough (Infectious Tracheobronchitis) is a common cold for dogs. It is a contagious upper respiratory disease that is an airborne virus. Symptoms can include a gagging cough, sneezing and nasal discharge. These symptoms can last from a few days to a few weeks. While canine cough is hard for the owners to live with and annoying for your dog it is not a serious disease, though it can lower a dog’s immune system making it more susceptible to other infections.
Kennel cough does not originate from kennels but can be brought to the kennels by an infected dog. As the virus is airborne, a dog could catch it in its backyard, walking, or at a dog park. No amount of cleaning and disinfecting will prevent a dog from catching the virus.

Yes, if their stay is 3 days or longer, in most cases, we will bath your dog.
