Bordatella Vaccination...shot or nose drops? Ian's vet said that the nose drops are back-ordered, so he will have to get the shot. He's going to camp during Father's Day weekend, and has to have it. Which do you think is best?:confused: |
I think (in my limited experience) that the nose drops can be irritating, and they're only good for 6 months, while the shot is good for a year. Of course, neither one is perfect and they don't offer protection from all strains, but you don't have much choice if you need to board send them to a groomer. |

I will only do the intranasal |
I prefer Bordetella vaccine...I have heard and read that alot of dogs have bad reactions to the nasal spray and plus the vaccine is good for a year and the nasal you have to have done every 6 mos. |
I've heard the nasal one isn't good....but we don't do any shots anymore except for Rabies because it's required. |
MIne only get the injections, as I have one that has horrible experiences with the nasal, which I think is the reason for her chronic nasal problems now. |
Good information! Thank you,everyone! |

I prefer the intra-nasal bordatella vaccine. I don't remember why but for whatever reason I don't like the injectable. |
Mine have always had a problem with the nasal spray. I had them put on each one of their charts to always give the shot. Then, no problems. |
Here is an interesting take ... basically they conclude that the first vaccine should be nasal, and boosters should be injectable: Nasal or Injectable - Which Vaccine is Best for Your Dog? - Page 1 |

There are less reactions to the intranasal, no pain of a shot, and it offers protection faster than the injection. Here is an article on the topic that sums it up. Kennel Cough (Infectious Tracheobronchitis) in Dogs |
Levi gets the injection...my vet did not recommend the intranasal for him, and now I forget why. I am curious about the pros and cons of the intranasal versus injection. The shot has always worked for us. |
