that is a controversial one. I personally do not do it anymore, but i do not take mine to groomer nor do i board them. I have a groomer come to my home. Some believe it is easy to treat kennel cough if you catch it so they opt not to do it. It also does not cover all strains. My parents dog became very ill after bordatella vaccine injection and ended up with a viral infection so i am not a fan of injection as it is stronger and lasts for a year whereas nasal lasts only 6 months. I have read of some having problems with nasal passage after getting intranasal as well so it is a tough call. I never had a problem with the intranasal in my dogs and they have all had it in the past but i do not do it any longer.
