Kennel cough is both a viral and bacterial upper respiratory infection and is passed between dogs in close quarters. This can be passed between dogs in both dirty and clean environments, did you not check out the kennels in question before leaving a precious pet, and how does the vet get included in the blame that you are dishing out.
Or perhaps there is more to this than meets the eye, your profile says nothing about yourself, and at this point I cannot determine you reasons to complain
Usually if your dog has to go in kennels ,you are advised to have your dog inoculated against kennel cough, because it spreads quick between dogs in close quarters.
