Warning

[showjumpinglover]

there is a serious case of kennel cough going around. It is the bacterial type so it will/could affect dogs that have been vaccinated against the viral type.
avoid nose to nose contact with other dogs.

just to let people know (however i don't know whether it is just Leics or all around the country)

we got the warning from our old dog trainer and his wife. D said that her sisters 3 dogs got it realy bad, and one of them came down with pneomonia (sp). so obviosly i don't want anyone elses dog to get the same thing.

i thought that i would aleart everyone because of how serve it is

[showjumpinglover]

it might be best to tell dog walkers in your area about it as well. by telling people about it then they to will be aleart and can tell other dog owners as well

Have had it in my area but I give mine Citricidal tablets which are a very effective natural anti bacterial/ anti viral remedy suggested to me years ago by my chiropractor as I always got colds, (haven't had one for 4 years now). My dogs did not get it!!
