There's nothing you can do to stop it. Kennel Cough is highly contagious and normally does the rounds spring and autumn. You will need to keep your dog isolated for about 10 days after the coughing stops. Manuka honey helps as does Children's Benylin. A trip to the vets shouldn't be necessary unless your dog gets a secondary infection.

Thank you all.

Bear was coughing on his walk this morning, but that may have been because he persists in trying to eat sh!t off the ground. It's far too early to see symptoms.

I'm off shopping for honey and blackcurrant jam and some nice bones now! (Not part of some esoteric cure, just run out of bones!)
