Kennel Cough        
(Click here to view the Quick Surf - Text Only- Print Version)

Now that antibiotics no longer work we have to go back to the old fashioned way of treating chest  and respiratory infections which involve supporting the bodies immunity; breaking down and clearing infected material;  introducing natural antibiotics;  normalizing mucous membranes;  strengthening the coughing reflex;  and providing natural sources of Vitamin C and Iron.

All this sounds like a lot,  but I make up a Kennel Cough treatment which contains the herbs Rosehips (Iron and Vit C also some Copper), Garlic  (natural antibiotic, contains sulfur), Fenugreek (lymphatic stimulant, sinus tonic, source of Vitamin A),  Marshmallow (expectorant and soothing tonic for mucous membranes), Elecampane (allantoin (healing agent)  and chest muscle tonic), Coltsfoot (expectorant),  Kelp (trace elements and expectorant) Yarrow (Iron and Bone Marrow tonic),   Mullein (Mucosal tonic and antiseptic) all extracted into Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (Organic Acids, Astringent Tonic)

The result a herbal kennel cough mix which gets rid of the cough and by continuing for several weeks after the cough has gone it builds up the immunity to 100%.  I recommend it is kept on hand and given to the whole kennel at any signs of cough showing up at which time all dogs should be given a short course.

This is healthy preventative medicine.  Your animals can not become immune to it, it doesn't create drug resistant infective agents and it even works against the super bugs we have managed to produce through the abuse of Antibiotics.

My standard Kennel Cough treatment containing the ingredients described above can be ordered online and dispatched within 24 hrs by going to the relevant section of my product list.
