Facts about Bordetella

* The Bordetella vaccine is optional but highly recommended, especially for puppies, senior dogs or any dog with a compromised immune system.

Bordetella bronchiseptica is a bacterium that is associated with respiratory disease in dogs. It is one of the components of CIRDC. 

CIRDC, formerly known as kennel cough, is like the common cold and flu in humans—a common issue for social dogs that is usually mild and manageable. Although we require vaccinations for all visiting dogs, no vaccine completely prevents exposure to potential germs. Like the human flu vaccine, these vaccinations help reduce the severity of signs should exposure occur.

To help keep our community safe and healthy, dogs showing signs of illness—such as coughing, sneezing, or a runny nose—must stay home until they’ve fully recovered. Thank you for helping us care for all our beloved pets!

While occasional exposure is a natural risk in social environments, being informed, proactive, and respectful of others ensures the well-being of all pets in our facility.

Our staff work hard to minimize risk by sanitizing daily.  After each use, all blankets and bedding are washed, and kennels are disinfected.

* Puppies may be boarded following their second Distemper/Parvo vaccination.
