Kennel Cough contagiousness

Ok, after having kennel cough run through some of my dogs, when is it safe to reintroduce them back into the general population of dogs after quarrantine?

My dogs were exposed to KC a few weeks ago and were isolated away from my other dogs. Several came down with it, coughed for a few days and are no longer coughing now, so just curious if anyone knows how much longer they need to be in quarrantine?

TIA

I was told that they are still contagious for 8-10 days AFTER ALL symptoms disappear.

Hope that helps!

I give it 2 weeks from the last cough, just to be sure.

Two full weeks after last cough.
