| bordetella I was wondering how many of you get bordetella for your dogs. I have not gotten it in 16 years since the dog I had it given to got severe kennel cough wich took many weeks to clear up. What have your experiences been? |

| None of my dogs ever had a problem with it. I do know that to go to daycare or to board this shot is a must. Buddy gets it yearly but daycare said he had to have it every six months. He no longer goes to daycare! Once a year, per my vet, is enough. |

| Mine get it in the shot version and have never had any problems. I wouldnt get the nasal one because I have heard of dogs getting kennel cough from it

| I don't give it but if I got another dog the vet would require it (not required for Ellie since she is so sensitive). I would only give it one week before hospitalization because I won't switch vets over the issue but I don't like the vaccine and dogs do get kennel cough from the intranasal vaccine. I wish the vaccine was never created...

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I can't stand that dang vaccine. I never get it unless I absolutely must. Wylie has had once bc the boarding kennel insisted (he was okay). Marcel has never had it, and hopefully never will (think I'll pay a pet sitter instead).

| Lacy had the shot the first couple of years and the intranasal this past year...no issues. I'm getting a lot more cautious about what I'll vaccinate for though... Bordetella is easily treatable if the dog does get it, and some dogs still get it even if they've had the vaccine. If I got the vaccine again, I'd only get the intranasal because I think it offers the best protection. But I'm thinking I won't vaccinate for it this year

| I am confused...do you really think it is bad for the dog? My two get it since they are always at dog parks, over friends houses and at the groomers. Should I not be getting this for them?

| I make sure both mine get their bordetella's each year. Most grooming places insist on it. Also, mine go with me everywhere they can and meet up with other dogs, especially dogs parks. And should they need to be boarded, they are all up-to-date and ready to go.

"Noncore vaccinations should be administered whenever the risk of the disease is significant enough to override any risk of vaccination. For example, kennel cough vaccine may need to be administered up to every six months in a dog repeatedly being kenneled or exposed to groups of dogs at grooming salons or dog shows." So, in your case, it's probably worth the risk of vaccination, ya know?

| They can still get the disease even with the vaccine (it is said to be milder but who knows). There are way too many drugs being put in our dogs' bodies and I just see no end to it.

| Franklin got (and probably will get) Bordetella. It's required for grooming, day care, and dog parks -- all of which are places we frequent often! He got the intranasal and did perfect with it.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I know *exactly* what you mean, bc I'm the same way - and it can get confusing. Even w/ my own health. I drink Diet Coke - and there are valid studies that say it's bad - and there are just as many that say it's harmless. So, I feel like I study nutrition/health (human, canine) as much as I can - balance it all out as best I can - throw in some hope and positive thinking - mix it up - and hope we all come out the other side in good health (paws crossed).
