Kennel cough

johnnyb6

Hi I want to put my King Charles in a kennel for 5 hours a day for 3 to 5 days and know he has to get treatment for Kennel cough. I was told he can get this up his nose and I wondering can he get this on his first day or has he to have it few days before going to kennel.

Thanking You

You need to ask the kennel, as some can insist on it being done up to 2 weeks beforehand.

Hi the kennell near where I put my dog, took my dog and gave him kennel dose there up his nose. I was told by the owner that it was ok doing it this way .

The time required for the dog to acquire resistance to kennel cough from the vaccination differs according to the vaccine brand, be it Bronchishield or Nobivac KC. I'd say make a quick phone call to your vet on Monday morning to ask.

No one other than a vet should be administering the vaccine and only a vet can certify the vaccination for you.

that is how it is usually administered, but as boomerang says, it should only be done by a vet.

A great tip is to put a dab of butter or marmite on the nose - dog licks their nose and - voilá! - the vaccine is gone down the hatch.
