Hi Jean. Kennel cough vaccination is a bit like Covid vaccination – it often just reduces the symptoms rather than stops infection completely. Therefore, your dog probably does have kennel cough and it’s best to check up with the vet.

Hi Jess. There are no rules; it depends on their level of illness. Some milder cases can safely be left, others need watching, especially puppies and seniors.

Hi Helen. We are seeing the same phenomenon right now in Adelaide. It doesn’t appear to be the same disease that we are vaccinating against, hence it occurring in your dogs. It also doesn’t appear to be as severe or last as long. Most dogs’ symptoms subside within 3 to 5 days. Once a dog stops coughing they should be able to be reunited.
