ludwig09 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 We just picked up our two schnauzers from the boarding kennels and i have since noticed my boys bark is very hoarse. My husband and i have both checked him thoroughly for ticks but havent found anything. He seems otherwise normal. Is it possible he has just barked himself hoarse? Anyone elses dog done this? He was there for 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melzawelza Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Definitely could have barked himself hoarse. I used to work in kennels and some of the dogs just never ever stopped barking the whole time they were there. Could also be canine cough. Is he coughing or you're just noticing it when he barks?

She loved the kennel owner and would go off happily with her each time so it wasn't stress at being there. I think she just liked to bark with all the other dogs while she could.

Melzawelza he is not coughing or anything different otherwise. Its just when he barks. He normally has a very ear piercing high pitch bark so its quiet nice that its toned done lol...... i was worried though but fingers crossed he just barked himself silly.

laneka Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 They usually come home exhausted as well as hoarse. Most dogs have the time of their lives in a boarding kennel. Also a lot of them get far more exercise than they do at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case I wouldn't worry at all. Sounds like you just have a barker on your hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But come to think of it, its the longest he has been in the kennel. They normally go to my mum and dads for long stays. Yes i think it may be a sleepy day in our house tommorow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumbeat Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 We are currently enjoying the peace and quiet after collecting ours from the kennels at the weekend, although our boy doesn't bark as much as the girl. Give it a week and their voice will be back to normal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
