Kennel Cough (CIRDC)

Kennel Cough (CIRDC) is a contagious respiratory infection caused by a mix of bacteria and viruses, leading to a dry, honking cough and mild cold-like symptoms. It spreads easily in places where dogs gather, like boarding facilities and dog parks. Most cases resolve on their own, but severe infections may require veterinary care.
