What about vaccinations when going into kennels?

For dogs going into boarding kennels we recommend that all dogs have had a C5 vaccine which includes protection for Canine Cough. The vaccination gives the best protection against a major canine cough challenge such as dogs can be faced with in boarding kennels.

The new oral vaccine works by producing a stronger immunity on the lining of the airways. Canine cough is a disease that starts and exists mainly on the lining of the airways. Rarely, dogs vaccinated with the new oral vaccine will still get infected in high risk areas like boarding kennels or dog parks; however, these vaccinated dogs usually get mild signs and recover quickly.
