Kennel Cough

Canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC),  known as ‘kennel cough’, is a common upper respiratory infection affecting dogs.

Kennel cough is highly contagious and is spread via aerosolised bacterial/viral particles from infected dogs. These dogs cough or sneeze into the environment where un-infected dogs can inhale the infection. It can also be spread through contact with contaminated surfaces or areas (such as bedding).
