Kennel Cough & Throat Health Support for Dogs

Key signs to watch for:

• Dry, hacking or “goose-honk” cough

• Gagging or retching (often after coughing)

• Sore or sensitive throat

• Mild nasal discharge

• Usually bright, alert, and eating (in uncomplicated cases)
  
  

How dogs catch it:

• Boarding kennels, grooming salons

• Dog parks, training classes

• Any place dogs share airspace
  
  

Throat health impact:

Repeated coughing causes inflammation and irritation of the trachea, which can prolong recovery even after infection clears.

Typical duration:

• Mild cases: 7–14 days

• Lingering throat irritation may last several weeks
  
  

Conventional care:

• Rest (no collars—use a harness)

• Cough suppressants

• Antibiotics only if bacterial involvement or complications

• Isolation from other dogs during recovery
  

When it’s more serious:

• Fever

• Lethargy or loss of appetite

• Thick yellow/green discharge

• Puppies, seniors, or immune-compromised dogs
  → risk of pneumonia
  
  

Key takeaway:
Kennel cough is usually self-limiting, but throat care and rest are crucial to prevent prolonged irritation and secondary infection.

SET OF

Kennel Cough & Throat Health Support for Dogs

• It doesn’t imply treatment or cure of a viral infection.

• It frames the focus around general cough and throat health support.

• It avoids overstepping into therapeutic claims while still being clear and practical for your audience.

A natural blend of plant and mineral ingredients, traditionally associated with respiratory comfort and immune wellness. Designed as part of a general supportive care approach, this set may help maintain throat health, soothe irritation, and encourage resilience during times of environmental or seasonal respiratory challenges.

Practitioner guidance may also suggest complementary measures such as rest, hydration, and antioxidant-rich nutrition to support overall wellbeing.

Supportive & holistic throat support

• Soothing herbs for throat mucosa (e.g. slippery elm, marshmallow root)

• Immune support to shorten duration

• Avoid cold air, smoke, or irritants

• Warm, moist air (humid environment)
  
  

Lung & Respiratory Wellness Support

Conditions that may affect lung and respiratory health in animals include:

• CPiV (canine parainfluenza, associated with kennel cough)

• Bordetellosis (commonly linked to kennel cough)

• Equine cough and related respiratory irritation

• General bronchial challenges

• Pneumothorax (collapsed lung, requiring veterinary care)
  
  

This supportive set has been traditionally valued for its role in maintaining respiratory balance, encouraging immune resilience, and promoting overall throat and lung comfort. It may also be considered as part of a general prophylactic immune wellness approach for kennel cough and similar environmental challenges.
