What is Kennel Cough in dogs

Kennel cough is a respiratory infection that can be caused by several different viruses and bacteria and is easily spread between dogs. This infection causes a dog’s voice box and windpipe to become inflamed and makes the dog cough. Kennel cough is not dangerous to most dogs but is more severe in young puppies, older dogs and some dogs with underlying health conditions.
