| Kennel cough at day care :S Hi guys! So I wanted to ask some of you guys what you think about kennel cough at daycare. I take my dogs to this very fancy day care in Hollywood and suddenly every single dog had kennel cough. I brought my dogs 2 times after seeing that dogs had kennel and then I took them out. Some people told me it was not a problem some others told me it was a serious problem. Luckily none of my babies got the kennel cough but I've been noticing more sick dogs at day care and it amazes me how no one does nothing about it. I'm not taking my dogs back until they fix that problem because I don't want any of my little guys to get sick. Have you guys had any previous experience like this? Something worse something similar? |

| Magnus and Zoey had KC mid July. Since they haven't been interacting with any other dogs the previous month or so, the only place they could have gotten it from was the daycare. Have you contacted the daycare about your concerns? If not, then I'd like to recommend you do. Maybe even contact your vet to see if s/he's seen any dogs with KC and if they've been to the same daycare as your pups. As much as it sucked that M/Z got sick, I felt my daycare handled things very well. They were constantly in contact with me and answered any questions I had. They also asked that I'd get a doctor's note for clean bill of health. Which I had no problem with of course. |

YT 1000 Club Member | I've never had experience with kennel cough regarding my dogs but I know while living in Memphis one of the shelters was overrun with it. It is highly contagious especially with dogs being in close quarters. I dont think I would take my dogs back there until they had a total in house cleaning(the virus can still live on a surface for a period of time). I would ask them how often do they clean and with what? |

From what I've been told, the vaccine doesn't protect KC 100%. What it does is to greately reduce the chance of your pup getting bordetella. Also if caught, it's supposed to lessen the severity of KC. I'm assuming even thought the vaccine didn't totally protect them from KC, it at least helped by not making it worse than what it could have been. Last edited by Magnus; 08-27-2013 at 06:21 PM.
