Bordetella ? Yes or No Galen gets very excited and loves treats. He focuses more on the treats then doing the training. I figured I need some help so I want to take Galen for some training. I was told that Rabies, Bordetella and Distemper vaccinations required. He does not have Bordetella and I am not sure if I want to give him it. Has everyone given that to their pups? I |
No for us. We avoid places that require noncore vaccines. |
I get Bordetello confused but isn't that the cannine cough vaccine? If so, Macy and Molly get one every 6 months. My groomer requires this vaccine. |
keylo had it before transport from Louisianna to Maine......she ended up with kennel cough. my latest foster had the vac on May 22nd and was transported with many other dogs on July 9th where we picked her up from Hampton NH and she sneezed all week and had a clear discharge from her nose..i thought it was allergies but all three of mine started with KC the night she left........so for me i say it gives it to them as i asssume they are streessed during transport and their immune system is down. so i guess if they are not going to be stressed and stay in thier usual environment the chances of it protecting instead of contracting is better. jm three cents from personal experience. |
Huey gets it every year. It was nasally administered until this year, when it was an oral liquid. Huey has been boarded in the past, goes to the groomer & out in public and has never contracted kennel cough. |
dog Do some research and call some vets to get opinions. I do not like to use anything because there is risk. Of course you have to weigh the risk with the benefits. Then say a prayer and make a wise decision.l |
I follow Dr. Dodd's protocol as best as I can. So after the booster at one year old of DHPP and then rabies on a different day, I won't get any more vaccines for the rest of his life except rabies every 3 years as per the law. He's gotten bordatella 3x in his life for different reasons (I was usually talked into it, or whatever) and I won't ever again, I am so over it. Every time he's gotten some sort of cold, or sniffling, and sneezing, or wheezing, or something from it. And he's gotten kennel cough while supposedly 'protected' from the vaccine. Check out this link: Bordetella Vaccination for Dogs: Fraud and Fallacy | Dogs Naturally Magazine I've done many training classes with Jackson and they've never asked for proof of vaccines. Maybe find another facility. |
No, we don't give bordatella. |
Nope, I won't give Bordatella to my kiddos. |
I give it to Callie and my mom gives it her yorkie. I have heard how kennel cough can last sometimes even longer then a month and can lead to worse infections. I wont risk it because there are so many owners out there who will take there infected dogs every where. |

Wanted to add that we have done it in the past, but, after my dog Bareny had KC twice while vaccinated I realized it was a waste of $. |

And anway most vets seem to be giving intranasal or oral which is yechnically questionable at best. |
Thank you all. I am holistic for myself. I take very little in medication and use herbal remedies instead. Originally I gave Galen only the shots he needed. I had to add Lepto because of where I live. We have way too many wild animals and Galen was being potty trained outside. I refused the bordatella when he first received his puppy shots. You all gave me things to think about. Thank you. Hugs |

Likewise! I have had to many pups come down sick after having that stuff dropped into their noses...and then you have to put the baby on antibiotics and they have the upper respiratory infection, which CAN go into pneumonia...., and it can take MONTHS to clear it up!!!....not a good thing. |

Morgan always gets a his bordatella/ I had a dog that got kennel cough and it was horrible |
Quote:
Sadly, I have had to give it to Shelby-Dale 2 times because of boarding him. I can't find one place that boards animals that doesn't require it. :( |
Yeah me too/ I can't board Morgan without it. My groomer requires that also |

My 3 get the Injectable Bordetella every year, as they go to the groomer. I have never had a problem with the Injectable, but did have problems with the nasal. |
The nasal drop, (I THINK I WAS TOLD!), is the live virus...the injectable is not live... |
We did because we were traveling.... Never had a bad reaction |
I do not vaccinate against bordatella but when I adopted my Wolfhound mix from a Ca shelter, they gave him the intranasal just min before they turned him over to me & he got bordatella & pneumonia 3 x in 5 mo and now has Chronic Rhinitis as the vaccine damaged his sinuses. I will NEVER again allow ANYTHING be put in my pups noses.:thumbdown |
Quote:
That happened to one of the babies that I had that was adversely affected by that krappe.....he NEVER got over it, and going forward, was continously ill with the chronic rhinitis.....THAT was when I decided I was not going to be taking my dogs to places that demanded I expose them to this vaccination. I felt inconsolable knowing I had caused my baby such chronic misfortune for the rest of his little life. |
My three had not had it for three years. But had taken them in for the injection before we went trucking. I have never had a issue with the shot. I just feel better when we stop to potty where lots of others have as well |
I don't know if people really realize that there are around, last I heard, about SIXTY strains of kennel cough, and I think the vaccine vaccinates for around 10-14 strains. It's like vaccinating for the common cold or the flu -- you can go ahead and do it, but you're vaccinating against something that is so prone to mutating that it's almost futile, ya know? It's so odd to me that it's required by so many, when it really protects against so little. Hello, Marketing and revenue stream ;)!!!? Personally, I'd rather avoid an unnecessary vaccine and let my dogs get a cold, then treat it with antibiotics. My kiddos have never been vaccinated against it, and have never contracted KC. |
It sure gives you a lot to think about/ unfortunately my groomer requires it and so does any place that we would board him even though we don't board Morgan very often. We don't go anywhere we can't take morgan |
Bordetella In SC all the kennels, doggie day cares, groomers, trainers and even some of the dog parks require it- They track it in their computer systems. |
