"Kennel Cough" is the dog version of the human cold. It's just kinda ridiculous...bc like the human cold, there are hundreds of strains of "kennel cough". And the Bordetella vaccine vaccinates for only about 7 of them. So yeah, you tend to ask yourself..."why give it then..?" -- exactly  . It's not very useful at the end of the day, it's most certainly not necessary, and it can def cause issues in puppies that can go on for months and months. | The biggest issue is KC can turn into bigger issues especially with small dogs. My cousin has a huge dog that got it and he was so sick he had to spend the night at the ER vet.
