10. I often hear of dogs contracting canine cough whilst holidaying.
Yes your dog is vaccinated against Canine Cough (Kennel Cough) but this does not give total immunity. Just as the human flue vaccine only reduces the severity of the symptoms so to with Canine Cough vaccine. Many people believe Canine cough can only be found in kennels but be aware that this is an air borne virus that can travel for up to 5 kilometres so even at home or at the park your dog can still be at risk.
