It is possible that Kaz might have kennel cough. Kennel cough is just a name for a contagious respiratory infection, that can be caused by several different viruses or bacteria. They don't necessarily pick up the infection at a kennel, but anywhere where they could be in contact with other dogs, the way you or I might pick up a cold. Typically dogs with kennel cough will cough hard enough that they can gag and bring up white foam. If Kaz is acting like he doesn't feel well, then I recommend you take him in for an exam with your veterinarian. If Kaz is happy and playful, and happens to be occasionally coughing, than it is okay to wait a few days to see if it gets better on its own. If Kaz is acting like he doesn't feel well, then call your veterinarian for an appointment. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
