We require and strictly enforce that all dogs at Puppy Haven are current on their vaccines, including the Bordetella vaccine. We also adhere to strict cleaning procedures, including daily cleaning of all surfaces with dog-friendly disinfectant, nightly scrub-downs, and regular deep cleans. Although our team is not trained to diagnose kennel cough, we are trained to identify the symptoms and are as cautious and preventative as possible. If we observe a dog presenting kennel cough symptoms, they are isolated immediately to prevent further exposure to other dogs and a vet and the owner are contacted. While similar symptoms can result from things like allergies or eating a bone or toy that might irritate a dog’s throat, Puppy Haven must treat all cases with the assumption that it might be kennel cough until cleared by a vet.
