What is the Bordetella vaccination, and does my dog need it?
The Bordetella vaccination is administered to dogs to prevent “kennel cough” transmitted by highly contagious airborne droplets from infected dogs. Kennel cough is an infection that causes harsh, dry coughing that can be treated with strong antibiotics. Boarding facilities, dog parks, and most groomers require this vaccination for dogs staying with them. The vaccination is highly recommended for all dogs that come in contact with any other dogs.
