Common Symptoms of Kennel Cough in Dogs
The most recognisable symptom is a sudden, persistent cough that may sound dry, harsh or “honking.” Some owners may think their dog has something stuck in its throat.
Other possible symptoms include:
- Repeated coughing or gagging
- Retching after coughing
- Sneezing
- Runny nose
- Watery eyes
- Reduced energy
- Decreased appetite
- Mild fever
Some dogs remain active despite coughing, while puppies, older dogs and dogs with existing health conditions may become more unwell.
If your dog is already coughing, inform our veterinary team before visiting the clinic. Your dog may require an examination and treatment instead of immediate vaccination.
Timing Matters
Don't Wait Until the Day Before Boarding
Protection isn’t instant — timing depends on the vaccine used, your dog’s history, and your facility’s own policy.
Some facilities require kennel cough vaccination to be completed a specific number of days before arrival. Contact your boarding provider first, then bring their requirement to your veterinary appointment.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Is kennel cough vaccination mandatory in Dubai?
Requirements vary by facility. Many boarding kennels, daycare centres and grooming salons request proof before entry — check with your provider in advance.
❓ Can a vaccinated dog still catch kennel cough?
Yes. Several organisms can cause it and no vaccine covers every cause, but it can lower the risk and reduce severity.
❓ How soon before boarding should my dog be vaccinated?
It depends on the vaccine and your facility’s policy. Book early and confirm the exact requirement with your provider.
❓ Can puppies receive a kennel cough vaccine?
Certain products suit puppies, but minimum age depends on the vaccine used. Your vet will confirm the right timing.
❓ Does the vaccine treat an existing cough?
No. Vaccination is preventive only — a coughing dog needs a veterinary exam, not a vaccine.
❓ Will my dog need a booster?
Many dogs need periodic boosters. Frequency depends on the product, history and exposure risk.
