Kennel cough at the vets

I was at the vets yesterday and sat waiting for an hour to see the vet. When this man and women brought a dog in, i didnt hear this but apparently the owners said they think it had kennel cough but they let it sniff my puppy. So if she gets it i know were it came from. This is the second time this has happened, you would think they was a back way to take dogs that had something contagious.

same thing here Tracey, My Jazz has it, i rang them and told them but they still said i had to take her in but to keep her in the car, i did, when we were called they made us walk through the surgery and there were 3 other dogs there and che did cough on her way through, i felt bad and angry that the vets made me even go in !! i now feel that by doing this they are spreading the disease themselves and therefore making more money !!!

Last time my dogs had it i did the same as you Emma, i kept them in the car then when the vet had to see them i ran through trying to keep them away from the other dogs. I got some really funny looks off people they must have thought i was mad.

Our vet has an appointment only system which is good for things like that.

Even when you bring a pup for its first jabs you have to make an appointment so they are not in contact with ill dogs and cats.

Thats good caz mine is a free for all people with sick dogs, young pups and dogs waiting to be pts, its a nightmare!!

Can't complain about my vet. If you think you have anything contagious they ask you to wait in the car til the vets ready for you - then you go in the back way.

where do you think Jazz got it from Emms?

Joe i wish our vets was like that , then i wouldnt have to keep taking them back for kennel cough.
