[Ellie May]

I think a lot of it is a matter of opinion. Here the intranasal only is offered (that's what I've seen anyway). Vaguely remember it had to do with something about the reaction rate. Ellie's vet does not push too hard for this vaccine to be given. I settle the debate by not giving either. lol.

Ellie has never had kennel cough and has never been vaccinated for it. She rarely walks in pet store and doesn't go to a groomer. She was going to outside dog events and walking on the grass for awhile and never picked it up. Her old vet office required it, but waived because of her reaction issues. Now usually the only offices she goes to are offices where her regular vet is working and she lets me do whatever on the vaccine front. New office doesn't require it for hospitalization. They are careful with infection control though. Exam rooms get closed to dogs or cats if certain diseases are suspected. Sick animals taht go to the back are taken to isolation. She hangs out with me there and we have never had a problem. She hasn't been vaccinated for parvo or distemper in quite some time (distemper titer is low). I'm around yucky dog diseases all the time and that has never been an issue either.

I stopped doing titers awhile back. It was a waste of money for us.
