Your puppies breeder my have arranged for its first vaccination, so it is important to check and then bring your puppies vaccination certificate to your next appointment. This helps us determine what vaccine course your puppy will need for complete and full protection.

Kennel Cough
How is kennel Cough spread?
Kennel Cough is highly contagious and can be easily spread from one dog to another. When dogs cough, the bacteria and viruses become airborne and can quickly spread to other animals. It can also be transmitted on dog toys, food bowls or other shared objects as well as waterways such as becks and streams.
If you think your dog has the illness, keep them away from other animals to limit the spread. The incubation period is between 2 and 14 days, during which time the dog will be contagious. Some dogs can be carriers for months without exhibiting symptoms.
If you are worried about your dog, please contact the practice for an appointment, it is best to phone the clinic beforehand and explain you think they have Kennel Cough so they can minimize the risk to other dogs.
The vet may be able to prescribe antibiotics for Kennel Cough to target the Bordetella bacteria. If needed, they may also prescribe a canine cough medicine or an anti-inflammatory to sooth your dog’s throat.
Vaccination
This is the best way to prevent Kennel Cough, and is especially necessary if your dog spends a lot of time with other dogs or goes into kennels.
Kennel Cough vaccine lasts 12 months and therefore needs repeating every year.
Like any vaccine, the Kennel Cough vaccine doesn’t give 100% guaranteed protection, however it does significantly reduce the chance that your dog will catch Kennel Cough and reduces the symptoms if they do catch it.
Most kennels and doggy day care centres will request that every dog has the Kennel Cough vaccination two to three weeks before staying with them.
Speak to your vet about adding Kennel Cough into your dog’s vaccine schedule.
