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:
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.
