Yes, dogs can still get kennel cough even after being vaccinated. The kennel cough vaccine is designed to protect against the most common strains of the Bordetella bronchiseptica bacteria, which is one of the primary causes of the disease. However, there are multiple pathogens that can cause kennel cough, and the vaccine may not cover all of them. Additionally, the immunity provided by the vaccine may not be 100% effective in all dogs, especially if they are exposed to high-stress environments or have weakened immune systems.

It's important to maintain regular vaccinations and consult your veterinarian about the best vaccination schedule for your dog, especially if they are frequently in contact with other dogs, such as at dog parks or boarding facilities.

If your dog does develop kennel cough despite vaccination, symptoms can include a persistent dry cough, gagging, or retching. It is usually self-limiting but can sometimes require veterinary treatment, especially in young, old, or immunocompromised dogs.

To help prevent kennel cough, ensure your dog is up-to-date on vaccinations, avoid exposure to sick dogs, and maintain good hygiene in shared spaces.
