Even healthy people can end up with other infections from the flu. The coughing it self can last a month sometimes more in a healthy person. There is also all the people you end up spreading the flu too. After all me and my family went through but my grandfather who didn't because he got the flu shot and it made my mind up for me. Whether it's not a big deal to some or not why not protect against what you can to try and keep your dog from suffering from? A lot of times one round of antibiotics does not knock out kennel cough and to many antibiotics at least in people can cause weak bones, bad teeth, and becoming immune to them. Just something to think about.
