       Greyhounds die in shocking kennel cough outbreak
       February 22, 2026
       Tasmanian greyhound racing has been shut down after one of the
       worst outbreaks of kennel cough in years.
       Kennel cough is a highly contagious disease caused by upper
       respiratory viruses and bacteria.
       Greyhounds are at high risk due to the crowded conditions of the
       racing environment.
       The American Kennel Club says the greyhound’s natural defense
       system is weakened by factors such as poor ventilation, cold
       air, and stress from travel or intense exercise.
       Tasracing has confirmed that some greyhounds have “been
       overwhelmed by their infection” and post-mortems are underway.
       More than 20 kennels have been impacted. Because Tasracing is
       only relying on “voluntary responses” from participants, the
       source of the outbreak is unidentified.
