How long does kennel cough last in young dogs?

I'm planning to adopt a dog, but it turns out it got kennel cough. It's only four months old, so how long until the dog would be better if treated? I don't want to bring home a still slightly sick dog because I have an old dog and I don't want her to get sick.



First get your other dog treated using the nasal dose (it works better). The cough can last several weeks and is highly contagious. It's not life threatening but can cause complications in an already sick dog. You don't want to expose your other dog to it until you have it cleared up. You will need to keep it in quarantine until it is past the contageous stages.

How many dogs are you allowed to have before you need a kennel license?

I was recently talking about my life's ambitions with my mum. I'm a big dog lover, and I told her I want to move out to a rural area and get about 5-10 dogs. A family member then remarked that if you want more than 4 dogs, you need to have a kennel license, and have to follow kennel regulations.

Is this true? All attempts to Google this topic came back with information about how dogs in kennels were required to be vaccinated.



This will be determined by your local government. Contact the animal welfare agency in your area to find out what's allowed.

It's not unusual for cities/towns to limit the number of dogs you can keep before you get special approval.
