My groomers have a beautiful little shop and it is very clean, but they cannot know what the dogs will bring in so I think it is very important that they have the bordetella, which isn't really a shot, but given up their nose. Better safe than sorry, Kennel Cough can be very dangerous and hard to get rid of especially in our little guys. | My baby just contracted Kennel cough FROM the bordetella vaccine. I posted about it in the health section. She got the intra-nasal dose. I have been told the injection is less risky.
