A concerned woman is reminding dog owners of the symptoms of kennel cough after her pet contracted the highly contagious disease.
Kennel cough, otherwise known as canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC) - is commonly transmitted through the air, on toys, food bowls and other shared objects.
Its most obvious symptom is a forceful, hacking cough, and it usually requires no treatment, though it can be fatal for puppies and elderly dogs or canines with underlying health conditions.
