  • So, your dog has had a chronic, goose-honking cough for over two months now, and no matter what you try, it does not seem to go away? Your dog may be suffering from Chronic Bronchitis.
    Watch this video, as I’ll be explaining exactly what chronic bronchitis in dogs is, as well as what the causes, clinical signs, diagnosis, and treatment options are so that you will be better equipped to understand what your dog is going through and thus be able to help him.
    Now it is important for dogs with bronchitis to actually cough up the inflammatory secretions as long as the coughing does not become excessive and aggravate the inflammation. It is not always easy to draw the line as to when the cough is helpful and when it is excessive, and thus it is very important to work closely with your vet and to take your dog back for frequent follow-up checks to see if the medication he currently is on help and if the treatment plan needs to be adapted.
    Dogs cannot get bronchitis from humans, nor can it be passed from dogs to humans. It is also not infectious or contagious to other dogs, given that other infectious causes have been ruled out.
    Chronic bronchitis is the end result of ongoing airway change and may therefore never be fully cured. But, the symptoms thereof are generally rather easy to manage for most patients and can keep them comfortable to live a long and happy life.

    Fantastic Video Pete. Unfortunately my dog may has been miss diagnosed with congestive heart failure and we have been treating her accordingly for years. We've just recently had a graph of her heart and they've advised us to wean off the heart medication and begin treating/investigating chronic bronchitis. I found your video very informative and reassuring, thank you.

    My dog developed what I thought was kennel cough 12 months ago but vet just gave antihistamines as he thought it was an allergy. She us now bring treated for chronic bronchitis and a non cancerous mass on the lung. She was on corvental D and prednisone but these made her unwell and anxious. She is now on inhaled low dose steroid inhaler which did help the cough. Contacting the vet though today as her breathing becoming very rapid to see if she needs to go on higher dose. Thankyou for this video explanation

    Excellent video! Thank you for explaining Chronic Bronchitis so comprehensively. My 13 year old Jack Russell, Cassey, has been diagnosed with the condition by a specialist vet in PE, our local vets thought it was a heart problem and she was on heart meds for over a month, if the cough persists I would recommend seeing a specialist.

    My 13 year old dachshund is suffering from this. He had kennel cough as a pup and almost died. He needs to have his teeth cleaned and a few removed. They will not do it until it's gone and 2 antibiotics down and nothing. The teeth are so bad its unreal.

    Hi Pete,
    My dog has chronic bronchitis and watching your video helped me learn more about the disease. The issue I am having is no one can explain to me when the temoril P should be administered and when the cough medicine should be administered. Is it normal for the dog to couch one or twice every day? How do you know when you should give temoril p? How do you know your dog has mucus that needs to come out? I really need help to help my dog!!!

    Thank you, Dr. Pete for the extremely informative & excellent video. My 14 year old Min Pin was just diagnosed with severe bronchus collapse, intrathoracic tracheal collapse, and left atrial bronchial compression...(along with 3 other heart conditions he was diagnosed with 3 years ago). I learned so much from your video & needed this help. Keep up the great work. God bless you. 🐶🐾🐾❤

    Thank you for this video, I believe it may be too late for my dog, the medication isn't seeming to improve things, maybe an inhaler will help better than the pills. Thanks for your video

    Our jack russell has been suffering with this for about a year, its got worse...now our vet wants her put down. She has been on steroids and corvital-d (the strongest one) for months, the treatment doesn't seem to be helping at all. This week we have to face up to losing our beloved little dog at some point. 🐕💟😢🙏

    My puppy just passed away from Chronic Bronchitis 2 days ago at the age of 5....😔😔😔 We couldn't save her...My vet thought she had a kennel cough at first as she was showing no signs of breathing problems...The situation deteriorated and then we could not save her...It was too late...
    My dog never fainted though...And she was always an excited dog that jumps and runs around....But she never fainted...She had this cough and then it deteriorated very fast that we couldn't save her... She was coughing and vomiting yellow phlegm...
    She stopped eating, drinking and everything she would drink or eat, she would vomit them out anyways...

    My dog have been getting treatment and examinations for 4 months and have now been diagnosed with Chronic Bronchitis. The vet think, that she have had a kennel cough that was untreated and it developed into bronchitis that was also untreated, before I got her. My vet said, that she hope we with adrenal cortex hormone (corticosteroids?) can give her a couple of more years.

      Never give your dog any medicines for humans...Dogs immune system and human immune system are not the same....Always consult your vet before you give any medicines to your pet...
      Never use human medicines on your pet...It can worsen the situation even more...Instead consult a vet and let them prescribe medications for your pet... Don't take risks!

      Yes it's fine. Just give your dog a smaller dose if it's small dog.
