kennel cough can be caused by over 20 different organisms, the vaccines are updated regularly, most boarding facilities require it, it runs rampant in shelters, in healthy dogs it is similar to a cold but in the very young, old, or otherwise compromised individuals can be serious, requiring medication or even hospitalization for pneumonia. vaccines are either nasal, which can cause a mild case which can be transmitted to other dogs, or injectable
