What is Bordetella (Kennel Cough) and should my dog be vaccinated?

0

Kennel cough is a very contagious infection in dogs characterized by a harsh, hacking cough. A dog with kennel cough typically feels active and maintains a normal appetite despite frequent fits of coughing. The cough typically sounds like a deep hack and often is described as “something stuck in the throat”. This infection is easily treatable by the veterinarian. We recommend all dogs get the Bordetella vaccination if exposed to a kennel, grooming facility, doggy day care, dog parks or visits to the animal hospital. There are two ways to vaccinate for this infection, an injection and an intranasal vaccine.
