Rise in Kennel Cough and Respiratory Illnesses
BELLEVILLE – The City of Belleville is advising residents of a large influx of kennel cough and respiratory illness cases reported to local veterinary offices.
While the East Zwick’s Dog Park remains open at this time, park users should be aware of the heightened risk and practise distancing protocols at all times.
Any dogs presenting the following symptoms should be kept away from the park until their symptoms subside:
-
Coughing
-
Sneezing
-
Runny nose
-
Eye discharge
-
Lethargy
-
Loss of appetite
-
Low fever
Thank you for your assistance in keeping our parks and pets safe.
Last week, Prince Edward County closed its dog park for the same reason.
