My Yorkie received a bordetella shot last year because the vet thought he was going to need surgery for his LP. Luckily the orthopedic surgeon said no and the surgery was canceled. Now I got a reminder in the mail that he needs his bordetella booster. I called the vet yesterday and asked if it is necessary since he isn't boarded and the groomer comes to my house. She told me yes it is required and he could even get bordetella just by walking him. What are your thoughts on this shot. Is it really necessary and are there any dangerous side effects?
