There are several causes of coughing associated with tracheobronchitis, all of which get lumped under the general name "kennel cough" at times. So it is possible for a dog to get kennel cough from two or three different causes in one lifetime. In addition to that, the most common cause of tracheobronchitis in dogs is probably Bordetella bronchiseptica infection, a bacterial infection. Immunity to this infection is not long lasting even after having the illness. Immunity probably lasts 6 to 12 months in most dogs and when it wears out they can get the infection again. There are vaccinations for Bordetella. In a high risk situation it might be a good idea to vaccinate twice a year for this infection. In other circumstances -using the vaccine once a year may be adequate or even using it only when it appears likely to be necessary, such as prior to boarding a dog at a kennel or participating in an event in which many dogs will be present.

Yes, dogs get it, it's really contagious, and they often get it when they are boarded at at kennel, that's how it got its name. Animals in close quarters spread it.

Its a respiratory cold a dog can get. There is a vaccine for it. Next time, maybe you could ask an entire question.
