What Is Kennel Cough?
Kennel Cough is a common ailment that affects pets, primarily dogs and cats, just as similar upper respiratory infections afflict humans. The scientific name for the most common form of the ailment is infectious tracheobronchitis. Forms of what is commonly known as Kennel Cough also go by the names Bordetellosis, or Bordetella. This disease is highly infectious, especially in dogs. Infected animals will shed the virus for 6 to 14 weeks after the infection symptoms have been resolved. The majority cases of kennel Cough are caused by more than one infectious agent, usually a combination of viral and bacterial infections.
Kennel Cough symptoms include fever, nasal discharge, and a dry, hacking cough that sounds like something may be caught in the throat – often described as a “hacking” sound. Although Kennel Cough itself is not a serious disease, it is often distressing to see your pet suffer from this infection. In some cases, the ailment can lead to a more serious condition - pneumonia. In mild cases, your pet may remain alert and active, but in more severe cases, symptoms may include lethargy, fever, and loss of appetite. Severe cases of Kennel Cough usually occur in immuno-compromised or young animals.
Kennel Cough gets its name from the tendency to spread extensively in kennels where pets are boarded. It can also be readily contracted at shows, parks, or anywhere where there is a gathering of dogs or cats in close space. Kennel Cough generally strikes when a pet is recovering from a viral or respiratory illness. Though usually a secondary invader, it can also be a primary cause of illness. The cough can last up to 6 weeks if left untreated.
How To Take Care of Kennel Cough – Naturally and Effectively
To nurse Kennel Cough in your pet, Amber Technology’s Kennel Koff is a natural and effective natural organic antibiotic designed to help your pet overcome the bacterial infection that causes the affliction. In most cases, Kennel Koff relieves the cough within 48 hours, though the effectiveness of Kennel Koff depends on a 7-10 day continuous regimen. If you plan to board your pet, or foresee your pet being around other animals, you may use Kennel Koff as a preventative. Conventional treatments include antibiotics, bronchodilators, and cough suppressants. Kennel Koff is specially formulated to aid in fighting bacterial infection, quell post-infection inflammation, stimulate circulation, increase immune function, and reduce free radical load.
Vaccines are offered for Kennel Cough, but these preventative treatments rarely provide protection against contracting the disease. Additionally, the vaccine itself carries with it a risk of contraction of the disease.
Kennel Cough Imitators
It is difficult to distinguish Kennel Cough from the Canine Flu. The Flu is primarily viral in nature, while Kennel Cough usually includes a complicating bacterial infection. Canine Flu often mimics the symptoms of Kennel Cough. The key difference in the case of the Flu is excessive upper respiratory congestion. If you are unsure which ailment your pet has, Amber Technology recommends the use of Pet’s Cough and Cold formula along with Kennel Koff. This combination is safe and will cover incidences of either illness.
Suggested Use:
NOMOGRAM (chart)
Pet Weight | Kennel Koff | # of Pets Treated |
Under 3 lbs | 2 drops 4 times/day | 13.5 |
3-10 lbs | 5 drops 4 times/day | 5.4 |
11-20 lbs | 10 drops 4 times/day | 2.7 |
21-150 lbs | 15 drops 4 times/day | 1.8 |
151-250 lbs | 20 drops 4 times/day | 1.4 |
251-300 lbs | 25 drops 4 times/day | 1.1 |
*For heavier pets, add 5 drops for each 100 lbs increment.
For each one ounce bottle, the number of pets that receive a full ten day course of Kennel Koff is determined by calculating the total absolute dose based on weight (see nomogram).
The standard dosing of Kennel Koffis Administer orally 4 times daily for up 10 days as needed.
When treating more than one pet with the same dropper, it is necessary to assure sterile administration without carry over from pet to pet. The best way to assure this is to use the dropper only to transfer product to an individual sterile oral syringe—a different syringe for each pet. Those syringes should be sterilized after each use. Each pet should have its own syringe that is not shared with another pet. If a syringe is not readily available, then until one can be found, one may mix the product with a larger volume of flavored fluid (e.g. tuna or salmon water) that is to be lapped from a bowl. However, the use of a syringe assures a more accurate dose.
Long Term Use:
Co-administration of Kennel Koff with Pet’s Cough & Cold Formula or other Amber Technology products are short term (10 days). However, there are clinical settings in which Kennel Koff is utilized beyond a ten day regimen. Kennel Koff may be used for many months administering twice a day as directed to build immunity as well as a variety of conditions resulting in viral and bacterial symptoms.
Kennel Koff may be administered twice daily for up six months as needed. If administration of Kennel Koffbeyond six months is mandated, a two week holiday (break) from product before re-starting is necessary. Kennel Koff can be administered via this six month rotation cycle for eighteen months.
For exposed pets: Administer the number of drops indicated on the weight chart 2 times daily, twelve hours apart. Do this for 5 to 10 days or until the exposed infected animals recover.
WARNING:
Keep Kennel Koff out of the reach of children under 16 years of age. The dosing guidelines must be followed exactly as written. Overdose of this product can cause serious side effects, to include irritability, change in behavior, reduced consciousness, vomiting and subsequent dehydration, stupor, coma, or death. One must not exceed the daily recommended dose. It is important to weigh your pet before administration of this product to obtain accurate daily dosing. Continuous use of Kennel Koff(administering four times a day, for ten days) without appropriate scheduled interruption is to be avoided, as it is associated with clinically significant listlessness, diarrhea and vomiting.. As with any nutraceutical or pharmaceutical product, Kennel Koff may cause an allergic reaction that may manifest as either skin redness, urticaria (hives), peri-orbital edema (swelling around the eyes), or as potentially serious respiratory dysfunction associated with laryngeal edema. Any suggestion of allergic reaction, even the most subtle, should alert the pet owner or veterinary health care provider to cease any further administration of Kennel Koff and to assess for interventional measures for such a reaction. One should have all of the appropriate emergency contact information readily available before starting this or any nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, or nutritional supplement. It is recommended that the pet owner, the novice in particular, discuss the use and side effect profile of this and any product with his or her veterinary health care provider. . Co-administration of Kennel Koff with other agents must be done with caution. In the event of co-administration with other Amber Technology products, one must NOT mix Kennel Koff with Kocci Free, Urinary Tract Relief, HWF, Vibactra Plus, or with the original version of Vibactra, Co-administration with pharmaceutical antibiotics is considered safe in most instances, with rare exception. One known exception is the co-administration of Kennel Koff with the antibiotic Baytril, which may have caused an adverse reaction of clinical significance.

I Love This Product! Review by Lois Karasek, Animal Service League, Inc
-
“I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you (again) how amazing the Kennel Koff is. I had two dogs mysteriously come down with “the croup” about 4-5 days ago, and I immediately began treatment with the Kennel Koff. Thankfully, I had just recently replenished my supply with the two additional bottles. I not only treated the two initial “hackers” and two subsequent ones, but I decided to try to prevent anyone else catching it (there are a dozen more dogs in that “pack” in the house) by giving them a dose just once a day. So far no one else is coughing and the ones that were, aren’t. The first one to start was hacking so hard the first couple of days that he was “tossing” his food, so you know how bad it was. It was almost immediate quelling of the cough with the use of the Kennel Koff. I love this product and recommend it to all my rescue associates!”

Antibiotics Were Not Doing The Trick Review by Connie H., Houston, Texas
-
“Just wanted you to know that Saturday morning I ran over and got a bottle of Kennel Koff and this morning PaPa was out in the backyard playing with a big limb that had dropped down. As I stated before PaPa has had Kennel Koff since January and our Vet was only giving him antibiotics which were not doing the trick. You will never know how much I appreciate talking with you and your concern over PaPa. Also the fact that you called and found a place in Houston to buy the Kennel Koff, therefore I did not have to wait 2 days to get the shipment from you. How lucky for us to find you and your company! Thank you for your kindness and concern.”
