Do I need to get my pet a Bordetella (Kennel Cough) vaccine?
A. Bordetella isn’t required by the state or county; however, it can still be very important and almost all kennels will require it prior to boarding. This is a vaccine that helps protect against the upper respiratory bacteria that causes what is commonly referred to as “kennel cough”. This vaccination is also sometimes required for dogs that frequent the groomer, dog park, or dog shows.
