Kennel cough is a contagious respiratory disease that can be contracted in places where dogs congregate. This is not limited to daycare and boarding environments, but can be spread in dog parks, vet clinics or even in your back yard during doggy play dates. Kennel cough can carry many symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, runny nose and sneezing.  There are things you as a dog parent can do to prevent kennel cough and there are also things On the Ball does to protect our pups.

What can you do:

• Make sure your pup is properly vaccinated by your veterinarian
• Continually focus on your dog’s overall health to keep their immune system functioning at a high level
• Monitor your dog’s interactions with other dogs while under your care
• Do your homework on dog daycare's and boarding facilities to ensure the space is clean and well-maintained.
