| Bordetalla vaccination Pros and Cons I am thinking of bringing Cody to day care for play and socialization it would only be a few times a month due to, it is located 1 hour from where I live. I do go to this town several times a month, instead of leaving Cody home alone, I would like to drop him off at this center while I conduct my business. This day care has a interview and trial session to make sure new dog is not aggressive, for this interview he needs the Bordetalla vaccination. I went on line to read up about it. Theanaphylactoid reaction is to long for me to include on this thread. Giving Cody the Bordetalla vaccination has me a bit up in the air about whether or not I should give him this vaccination. Below in bold letters is just a small portion of what I read. I would appreciate any feed back / comments on the safety of giving the Bordetalla vaccination. Vaccination is a serious medical procedure with significant potential risks. If that isn’t enough, the vaccine is unlikely to prevent kennel cough. It can even produce kennel-cough like symptoms. The WSAVA Guidelines say, “Transient (3–10 days) coughing, sneezing, or nasal discharge may occur in a small percentage of vaccinates.” It can also cause a serious anaphylactoid reaction. Look it up. You won’t like it.

| I feel like bordatella is one of those vaccines that doesn't really *do* much but also doesn't necessarily *hurt* too much either. Jackson's had the nasal spray bordatella 3x and one time he got KC anyway (when he was supposedly protected), the other two times he had a bit of a 'reaction' to it (runny nose, sniffly, etc). I won't be getting it again but we don't do daycare/boarding/etc. I think I would just weigh the benefits vs. the risks.

| Most day care places require the bordetella vaccine. While I agree it doesn't always work and can sometimes cause symptoms. It's a bit like the human flu vaccine. That being said I've seen thousands upon thousands (work in a animal shelter) dogs and puppies get this vaccine and have never seen a serious reaction. You can always give your baby 1/2 a Benadryl to help prevent allergic reactions. If it means your dog gets to play and have fun with other dogs I would get the vaccine, the risk of negative side effects are very low.

| Where I live you have to show your dog has had this vaccine for almost everything........some groomers, boarding and day care. I agree with Brit it's one of those vaccines that probably doesn't prevent your dog from getting kennel cough but it probably doesn't hurt either. The only negative I have heard from the vaccine given through the nose is it can go into lungs and cause problems but that is kind of rare. If I had a nice day care facility near me and they required this vaccine I probably would go ahead and do it if my dog was otherwise healthy.

| OK...found your source. Bordetella: Does Your Dog Really Need the Kennel Cough Vaccine? - Dogs Naturally Magazine Honestly if you want to know real facts instead of personal feelings (I say this because of that one line...."look it up....you won't like it") about this vaccine, try this: Bordetella (Kennel Cough) Vaccination

| If you get the vaccine, I would suggest you get the injection. They use live virus for the nasal spray and I personally have had multiple dogs come down this the disease after the nasal vaccine, and it took MONTHS and antibiotics and $$$ and my,poor dog was miserable. This is not an allergic reaction to the vaccine, it is actaully the disease, however "mild" the case, it is not something I personally want to subject my dogs to. |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Bonnie got kennel cough from the vaccine. She had the nasal drops. It took 3 weeks of antibiotics to clear it up and in the beginning there were breathing treatments and cough suppressants. She was miserable. If you get it, get the shot. |

| Joan, I have had Bentley and my Boxer get the injected vaccine and have not had any reactions to it with them. If you decide you like the idea of day care for Cody, I would get it at the very least 2 weeks before you take him there. Also, for me if you need to go somewhere quickly, no one to take care of him and he needs to be boarded...he will need to be vaccinated. It's my take on it and you will need to make your own decision for Cody.

| That is because it is a live bacteria they use! But I do not personally like the possibility of giving them the very disease I am paying to protect them from! No one ever got it when I was giving the injection....but then I stopped going anyplace that requires this vaccine.....for it to be effective, I understand you have to give it every 6 months and it does not cover all strains....just not worth it for US. |

| Mine only get the Injectable Vac. They have to have this due to going to the grooming shop. I have never once had a problem with it.
