Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I'm sorry to hear that your dog has kennel cough. The chances of Sylvestor getting a cough from your dog are almost zero. Cats and dogs have very few to no diseases that they can catch from each other. Kennel cough in dogs is complex of diseases that are species specific to dogs. I hope this is helpful!
