BORDETELLA (KENNEL COUGH) INFORMATION

Bordetella is a highly contagious respiratory virus among dogs which easily spreads through the air.  It is found throughout the world and is known to infect a high percentage of dogs at least once in their lifetime.  The risk is higher where dogs are in confined areas with other dogs, which includes dog parks, boarding kennels, grooming facilities, etc.… Young puppies often suffer the most severe complications from this virus as their immune systems are immature.  Also, there is a risk for older dogs, pregnant females and dogs with pre existing respiratory diseases.

Symptoms are, but not limited to

:              - Persistent cough

                              -  Retching

                               - Watery nasal discharge

                               - Loss of appetite

                               -  Lethargic

Please contact your veterinarian if any of these symptoms develop.

Unfortunately, vaccines are not 100% effective.  Even vaccinated dogs can get kennel cough.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at 613-978-9663 (WOOF) or at barkinglotkennels@gmail.com
