Our Rascal Bear had Kennels cough and he had it for around 4 mths. My Vet said it was HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS! If it were me I would not go visit w/ other dogs while having the extreme possibility of it being Kennels cough. And Yes, there are different kinds of Kennels cough. Kennels cough is so contagious that I had to keep our new baby from him. Before he was diagnosed with it we had purchased our Youngest Yorkie. Soooooo the breeder needed us to get her so We had to keep her downstairs and Rascal upstairs w/ Peaches who had been vaccined for Kennel cough. Our Vet told us we had to sanitize our selves and change clothes before going into the room where Baby (Our New Yorkie). We had to do this for over a month. Meanwhile we had her vaccinated but had to wait a month to be sure it took full affect. So Expressed over and over how contagious it is. So faithfully I would change clothes before entering the room and sanitize my hands face, change socks the whole 9. It was a pain but worth it to keep her healthy.
Just dont chance it
