I tend to vaccinate against the most deadly diseases. The other stuff that can be treated with antibiotics, I let go. As the KC vaccine has questionable efficacy, as do all the vaccines against bacterial vectors, I choose not to get this one. Should Your Dog Get Bordetella, the Kennel Cough Vaccine? | Truth4Dogs | But no place around here will let him board with them without it? If I'm going to possibly need surgery sometime this fall or winter, they won't accept him I'm told. IDK what to do.
