Vets are now calling Kennel Cough: Bronchitis.

Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers be aware of other dogs when walking a dog that is getting over Bronchitis. Don’t allow contact with other dogs on your daily walks.

Clinical signs of infections occur 2-14 days after exposure, and if uncomplicated with other agents, symptoms will last around 10 days. However, after the infection has been resolved, the affected animal will continue to shed the bacteria for 6 to 14 weeks and can spread the disease to other susceptible animals during that time.

The bronchitis in dogs (kennel cough) is not contagious to humans (unless they have weakened immune systems) but is highly contagious to other dogs.
