Can I give my dog clindamycin for kennel cough?

No, I would not recommend this. Clindamycin is a prescription medication that should only be given under the direction of a veterinarian who has examined your vet and made a diagnosis. In addition, clindamycin would not be a particularly good choice for the treatment of kennel cough - its spectrum of activity doesn't cover the bacteria that are usually involved in respiratory infections in dogs.
