How long does kennel cough last in young dogs?

15.June, 2010

I’m planning to adopt a dog, but it turns out it got kennel cough. It’s only four months old, so how long until the dog would be better if treated? I don’t want to bring home a still slightly sick dog because I have an old dog and I don’t want her to get sick.

First get your other dog treated using the nasal dose (it works better). The cough can last several weeks and is highly contagious. It’s not life threatening but can cause complications in an already sick dog. You don’t want to expose your other dog to it until you have it cleared up. You will need to keep it in quarantine until it is past the contageous stages.

    It depends on the dog. I adopted a pit mix who developed kennel cough, but with catching it early and a nice round of antibiotics, he was back to normal in just over 2 weeks. Some dogs can take longer, others less time.

    kennel cough lasts from 1 to 2 weeks. you should have your other dog immunized against kennel cough anyway, now would be a good time before the other dog arrives.

    When my dog gets kennel cough, Which occurs occasionally. I get medication from the veterinarian. It clears up with 3-7 days.
