Bordatella Vaccine (Kennel Cough)

Kennel cough is a highly contagious upper respiratory disease that predominantly affects dogs in crowded, confined areas.It is transferred through respiratory secretions.

Your pet is considered a high risk if:

  • they go to the park
  • are regularly groomed
  • attend daycare
  • board in a kennel
  • compete in dog shows or games
  • interact with neighbor dogs

Small-Medium Dog Kennels at HartwoodSymptoms

A sign of infection is a deep, dry hacking cough that may produce a foamy mucous (sounding like the human croup).

Treatment

Treatment can include antibiotics to shorten the duration of the disease, but it usually needs to run its course.

Prevention

There isn't a vaccine that is labeled for 12 months of protection. We recommend vaccinating every six months to ensure your dog is protected.
