Kennel Cough, is NOT contgious to puppies! If you go to the vets (which isn't usually necessary in Kennel Cough) they will likely prescribe an antibiotic to prevent secondary bacterial infections; however, Kennel Cough is viral and the antibiotics will not cure the Kennel Cough, it simply has to run its course (approximately 2 weeks).

As for home remedies, I have heard that a few drops of Hydrogen peroxide in the water dish will help ease the cough. Also, oil of oregano has shortened the duration of the cough. I have also heard of people using Benadryl or Robitussin DM but I haven't tried that myself. I have been giving my Beagle honey as well to help ease her throat. It is also recommended to keep a humidifier near her.
