Just like people, Animals can also have periods when their defenses are weakened., and may be more prone to certain illnesses. In cold weather, colds and respiratory illnesses are more common.
Despite their thick fur, the low temperatures of winter can weaken your pet's immune system. Rain, snow, humidity, or drafts can all cause damage. can cause a drop in defenses which makes the animal vulnerable to viruses and microorganisms to which it will be exposed during its walks and contact with other animals.
A very common disease at this time is canine infectious tracheobronchitis, popularly known as kennel coughIt's a respiratory condition whose main symptom is a characteristic, dry, intense, and persistent cough. It's highly contagious among dogs, especially in multi-animal settings, such as kennels or boarding kennels.
Kennel cough affects dogs of all breeds and ages, but puppies are especially at risk. They do not yet have the defenses of an adult dog and are more susceptible to suffering from it. If you detect any symptoms in your little one, a visit to a specialist is essential to treat them as soon as possible. There is also a vaccine that can protect our pet against this disease.
When your pet's immune system is weakened, it's not uncommon for them to catch a cold. It's usually more common if they live in cold, humid climates or if they've been in contact with a sick animal.
Prevention is key in these cases, and for that we must strengthen our pet's immune system during the coldest months of the year.
