Methods to prevent golden retriever kennel cough in winter:

1. Pay attention to local community forums. Once you find a large-scale dog cough situation, avoid taking the dog with you. Dogs go to these areas because kennel cough can be spread through droplets and direct contact.

2. If a new pet arrives at home, it must be isolated. Kennel cough is easy to occur in groups, so the chance of getting sick is relatively high among puppies that have just been brought home.

3. Pay attention to balanced nutrition in daily feeding. When the resistance is low, it is easy to be invaded by viruses. Too much or too little nutrition is harmful to health.

4. Pay attention to providing a warm and comfortable environment for the golden retriever, and also pay attention to ventilation.

Methods to determine if a Golden Retriever has kennel cough:

1. The dog has a history of contact with other sick dogs or kennels within 3 to 7 days.

2. The dog has a sudden cough and symptoms of nausea and vomiting, but is otherwise healthy.

3. In severe cases, the dog’s throat swells and causes coughing. The coughing sound is often mistaken for vomiting.
