Kennel cough, yes, can be annoying, but it's no worse than when a human gets a cold. Humans don't get vaccines to protect against the common cold, and that's essentially all KC is. A little bit of meds, and it was cleared up within a week for Jackson.

Did you read the link I posted about bordetella?

The thing was vaccines is ... this is not some new aged stuff people spout around forums. It's proven scientifically.

The problem is most places minus dog parks and pet stores require bordatella in order to let your dog be there. So if you want your dog groomed at a grooming salon they have to have the vaccine. I wish they had a vaccine for humans for a cold those things are miserable to me.
