General symptoms include:
A harsh cough - which will often result in the dog fetching up a frothy discharge after coughing
Sneezing
Runny eyes
General lethargy

Whilst some dogs will suffer from the full symptoms many others may only cough once - or not at all - these dogs still carry the virus.

If you suspect that your dog may have Kennel Cough, or if you have been in contact with a dog who has the virus, DO NOT attend training.
If your dog has Kennel Cough please do not attend training until 21 days after your dog has last coughed

Our competing members should already be aware that this is also the Kennel Club ruling that you agree to when entering a show.

There are many strains of Kennel Cough (similar to the Flu virus) and even if your dog is vaccinated against Kennel Cough, it will not be covered against all strains of the virus.

For further advice on Kennel Cough please contact your vet.
