Raleigh vet sees nearly 40 cases of kennel cough in dogs in recent weeks
RALEIGH, NC (WTVD) — A Raleigh vet is issuing a warning for dog owners in the Triangle: Avoid dog parks in the coming weeks.
Dr. Page Wages is urging you not to take your dog to a dog park for the next two weeks after a spike in cases of kennel cough.
She’s seen 39 cases in the last couple of weeks at Care First Animal Hospital on Oberlin Road.
“We’ve seen a tremendous rise in cases,” Wages says, “almost every one of them is a dog that frequents a dog park or plays with neighborhood dogs.”
Don’t worry, it’s not COVID-19, but like the coronavirus, kennel cough can spread easily.
