I never heard of it being needed every 6 months either. I don't get it for my dogs because I groom them myself and they are never boarded, but the clinic I worked at we did it once a year (injectable) only for the dogs that were boarding, going to a groomer or a daycare. Also, like someone else said, kennel cough is annoying to get rid of but it's nothing deadly or severe if treated properly. Idk, there's alot of vets that over vaccinate and it's annoying. I actually only do the Distemper combo vac. (without lepto) every 3 years after the dog turns a year old and has their second one (a year after the puppy shots). Studies have shown that it's effective for that long. |
