Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Huck. The bacterial can survive for up to 48 hours on surfaces. Make sure at least that amount of time has passed, and the area has been disinfected before bringing your dog in. I would also get Huck his kennel cough vaccine, and do not allow him contact with this dog. I hope this helps!
