This month, dozens of pet owners have reported on social media that their dogs became ill after staying at ZOOMIES Pet Hotel in Navarre, prompting complaints to state regulators and questions about whether the illnesses are connected.
The most commonly reported illness is kennel cough, a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by bacteria and viruses, including Bordetella. Symptoms include coughing or wheezing, sneezing, nasal or eye discharge, lethargy and decreased appetite.
