Cough

It seems both my dogs have kennel cough. Halo picked it up the other day (I suspect from the dog park) and two days later Diesel is coughing.
Any suggestions on how to deal with it? Unless it gets worse, I hope for them to ride it out and avoid a vet trip.

It's supposed to be pretty self-limiting, in time. Glad you were able to find info about it...Hope they're all better soon!

My min pin/pug mix came home from the shelter with kennel cough. My vet prescibed something to help. Thinking antibiotics......it was 2 years ago so I don't remember well. It ended up being a blessing in disguise for us. We found out that our old poodle had a heart condition so we started getting that under control.

You can also give them just plain honey. I've never used it for coughing but I do put it on my guys for cuts and battle wounds and they loooove to lick this stuff.

Yes
honey is a very highly effective topical anti-bacterial. Manukah honey especially has very high heeling properties.
