The Bordetella vaccine protects dogs from respiratory infections caused by the Bordetella virus, specifically canine cough.

At Dogtopia, this vaccine is required to be current by 12 months from date of vaccine. Most veterinarians recommend the Bordetella vaccine be given annually to maintain a high level of immunity for dogs who are often in social settings, as it helps control and prevent the spread of germs that cause canine cough. If a dog that has been vaccinated with the Bordetella vaccine and still acquires canine cough, they will have a less severe form that resolves faster than a dog who is not vaccinated. The germs that cause canine cough are very similar to the common cold in humans with mild coughing and sometimes a runny nose. Symptoms usually resolve within a week.
