ALWAYS. It's scientific name is tracheobronchitis. It is similar to bronchitis in human beings in that it involves either a viral or bacterial infection with expectorating cough, can progress to pneumonia, is quickly and easily contagious, and is treated with antibiotics. In that, there is good news, for while kennel cough is easily caught, it is also fairly easy to ameliorate. Get thee dog to a veterinarian.

Signs of kennel cough?
Kennel cough is perhaps the closest canine equivalent to the common cold. It's rarely life-threatening, but it sure can be uncomfortable for your dog. Fortunately, an annual vaccination can protect your dog from kennel cough. If you plan to board your dog, enter him into competition, or let him spend lots of time around other dogs, get him vaccinated. At many shows and kennels, in fact, it's required. Aside from the hacking cough, your dog will appear generally healthy, with a good appetite. He'll simply suffer through it.http://dogtime.com/kennel-cough.html
