What is kennel cough?

Several types of bacteria and viruses are known to cause infection and inflammation of the lungs and respiratory passages of dogs. The most prevalent are adenovirus type 2, parainfluenza virus and Bordatella bronchiseptica. The stress associated with boarding and increased exposure to these organisms commonly results in “kennel cough” in unvaccinated dogs.
