Good stuff   Review Date: February 22, 2008 Reviewer: M. Rodgers, Cambridge, MA USA Both my dogs got kennel cough from the dog park!!! After researching online, I decided to try this instead of making a trip to the vet. I dont like to pump meds into me or my animals for no reason. Lots of what I read said they naturally get better from kennel cough & meds dont help. The dogs took this for about a week & they were back to normal. Im not sure if it was this product or natural passage of time but I would get it again. Much cheaper than a vet visit for 2 dogs! Keep in mind they were not showing any another signs of illness or I would have gone to vet.

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate medicine for him.
