I wouldn't have it done - there are loads and loads of strains of kennel cough, and I think it only covers one or two. I also know quite a few dogs that have had it done, and still got kennel cough - either from the vaccine or the vaccine didn't cover them.... pretty pointless to give a vaccine for something as benign as kennel cough if you ask me - Alfie is a fit young lad, he'll be fine - even if he did get kc, its not the end of the world, Tilly has had it 3 times - each time she's been fine after a few days.

I do agree, there are so many different types of kennel cough and the vaccine may not cover all of them. ;)
But at the end of the day it is your decision.
Try some herbal remedies like GARLIC AND FENUGREEK, which is supposed to help: [size=8]It is used to treat minor infections, such as interdigital cysts, eczema, pyoderma, cystitis, coughs etc and when given regularly increases resistance to these infections by stimulating the immune system. Garlic has long been renowned for its antibiotic, antiseptic and anti-viral properties and this has been confirmed by modern scientific studies, which also show its ability to help with the removal of toxins from the system.[/size]-taken from Dowest herbs website.
Hope this helps. x
