If your dog has a hacking dry cough that seems to go on and on, there is a possibility it is Kennel Cough…

The term “kennel cough” came about because this disease spread rapidly in confined areas such as boarding kennels. However, this disease is not restricted only to kennels. Dogs can pick up the disease anywhere that dogs congregate such as parks, pet stores, groomers, and street corners as well as from dog-to-dog contact.

Featured today on Good Morning America, Jane spoke about her new book, A Rare Breed of Love, which is a star-studded collection of celebrities from many walks of life who support her in her “Adopt Don’t Shop” crusade to make people more aware of the importance of adopting shelter animals or buying from registered pet breeders instead of buying pets from pet stores or from the Internet.
