Bordetella, nasal or injection?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Which is safer for Yorkies? I had always used nasal in my other breed but know nothing about this with these babies.
Thank you all for replies!

I always thought the shot was better because I had read of quite a few dogs getting kennel cough from the nasal. But about a month or so ago someone on here said their dog got kennel cough from the shot so Im uncertain. Mine get the shot but I wouldnt get it at all if they didnt get groomed

On my dachshund my vet said that nasal was better, however on my other dachshund the vet couldn't get him to take it nasally/he gave him a run for his money (bucking branco while the vet was holding him, lol). Both of mine were fine on it but I would prefer nasal...

Nasal is a live vaccine so it is possible that your dog can get it (usually it is a slight case), but then the shot they say isn't as good. We still use up the nose and have never had an adult dog come down with it - only two puppies. One that was very small and the other that was just getting shipped to us. I also heard that the shot hurts a lot?? Not sure on that though because we have never used it.

None of mine have ever gotten bordetella vaccines. It is largely ineffective...as it's similar to a human flu shot and doesn't cover all the various types of KC out there.

I also should tell you that the only time Jewels ever had a reaction to a shot it was the bordatella. Now shes had it 4 times since with no reaction but the first time she had it she did

Bailey had a reaction to the bordatella shot... he started throwing up after he got it. The nasal kind. I haven't gotten it since.

I wasn't given the option.Im not sure we have both here in the UK. Tia had the nasel and no problems.

Gracie Ruth does better with the shot. The nasal really puts her on her butt for a few days. I don't notice her shot area being any more sensitive then when she gets any other type of shot. And I like how she doesn't seem as stressed over the shot as she is when they try to shove something up her nose. Can't say as I really blame her on that.
