Kennel Cough Symptoms
One of the most common diseases to infect your pet dog, or puppies is kennel cough. It is a highly contagious illness, leading to inflammation of the respiratory tract, especially its upper part. It is quite similar to the chest cold in humans. In fact, just like in humans, it even starts with a viral infection usually, which can eventually progress to a more severe bacterial infection too.
Medically known as ‘infectious tracheobronchitis’, this canine disease spreads rapidly through air borne virus and bacteria, when your pet is exposed to an already infected dog. It can also transmit through direct or indirect contact with contaminated surface, such as the ground or the sidewalks. Kennel cough is so named because it usually spreads among dogs confined in close quarters, such as in kennels. A dog can carry the infection causing virus and bacteria for as long as three months after catching the infection.
Symptoms of Kennel Cough
Dog cough is diagnosed on the basis of its symptoms that usually start showing in a dog 3-5 days after exposure to infected surroundings. The symptoms include:
- Frequent, dry, harsh coughing, that sounds like something is stuck in the dog’s throat.
- Sneezing, snorting, gagging or retching, especially after a period of physical exertion or excitement.
- Nasal discharge in some cases.
- Fever is usually not seen, but may show up in more severe infections.
- The dog generally remains active and displays normal appetite. Lethargy and listlessness may be visible in severe infections.
- Even slight pressure on the trachea can make the symptoms more pronounced.
- If left untreated, dog cough can progress very fast and in extreme cases can even lead to pneumonia and death.

Kennel Cough Treatment
Generally, dog cough shows up as a mild condition only, and goes away on its own after running its full course, that may last from 10 to 20 days usually. Lots of rest, clean, hygienic surroundings, and plenty of water is all that is needed by your dog during this time. But, if the viral infection is accompanied by an infection of the Bordetella Bronchiseptica bacteria too, antibiotic kennel cough treatment may also be required, along with some cough suppressants.
The fact that dog cough usually initiates as a viral infection makes it practically impossible to eradicate it completely from the world. The best that can be done is to strengthen your pet’s immunity from within. If your dog has a strong resistance to infection causing virus and bacteria, there is less likelihood of his catching this illness. And in this respect, natural preventive and remedial medicines play a very important role.
Just like humans, animals too show a remarkable response to natural healing treatments, such as homeopathy.

Here are some testimonials taken from the manufacturers website:
“One of my dogs had to go for … surgery and picked up kennel cough while she was hospitalized. She obviously carried it back home and within 4 days my other 5 dogs were all coughing, sneezing and snorting with intensity of symptoms ranging from mild to quite severe. I took 2 of them to the vet to have my diagnosis confirmed and the vet suggested [medication]… I refused as none of them had high temperatures, were eating well and did not seem to be feeling desperately ill. I thought it best not to compromise their immunity …and that's when I decided to rather try the relevant PetAlive products KC–Defense and Respo-K. I also gave them a natural human cough syrup …Within 24 hours the symptoms were dramatically reduced, 3 days later only one (my oldest – 10 years of age) was still coughing occasionally and 3 days it was all cleared up completely. Thank you once again for a safe and effective alternative!”

“I … have found a new way to treat… [Respiratory issues] in my dog. I will and have done everything for my dog…for it to come back within weeks and spent ugly amounts of money. I used the Native Remedies and the results were seen within 2-3 days. I give the [remedy] once a day as a preventive measure but followed instructions to the "T" in the beginning. I have told all of my friends who have dogs about this wonderful product and they immediately ordered the product online. We can sleep now and I feel better that I have finally found a product that lives to its name. You have a customer for life. Thank you so much!!!!!”
