Bordetella Vaccine for Dogs

Who’s it for?

All puppies and dogs. While all dogs should receive this vaccine, the most at risk are those that are frequently in contact with other dogs. The highest risk includes dogs frequently attending dog parks, doggy day care, training classes, boarding, and grooming facilities. Speak with your veterinarian to decide how often your dog needs this vaccination.

How much does it cost?

Why should I do it & what does it do?

The Bordetella Vaccine should be given to all puppies and dogs. We offer both intranasal (in the nose) and injectable Bordetella vaccines. Intranasal Bordetella vaccination can be administered at 8 weeks of age and is administered as a nasal spray. Annual booster vaccinations are recommended, or as recommended by your veterinarian. The injectable Bordetella vaccination can also be administered at 8 weeks of age, and requires an initial vaccination followed by a booster 3-4 weeks later. Annual booster vaccinations are recommended.

The intranasal vaccine protects against the most common causes of Kennel Cough, a bacterium called Bordetella bronchiseptica and two respiratory viruses called Canine Parainfluenza Virus and Canine Adenovirus Type 2. Most boarding, grooming, and dog training facilities require proof of vaccination. Check with your facility and your veterinarian several months prior to taking your dog.

The injectable vaccine only offers protection against Bordetella bronchiseptica and is therefore only recommended for dogs who will not tolerate the intranasal vaccine.
