Hi Tricia,
Yeah, the liability issue. I think that's where a fair number of them hide. So, it should be answered with some logic:
1. My dog doesn't have kennel cough (or anything else infectious) as you can likely see.
2. If my dog gets kennel cough while he's in your care, I'm willing to sign a waiver that I'll not hold you responsible.
And bravo for the Seattle thinkers! Freedom of choice should be part of every kennel's offering!
