Kennel Cough Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

Like humans, dogs can catch viruses and infections and show symptoms similar to that of a cold or flu. Kennel cough is a common respiratory infection in dogs caused by bacteria or viruses. When the respiratory tract becomes inflamed from these microorganisms, the irritation can cause a persistent dry cough.
