Bordetella

Bordetella Recommendation

We recommend the intranasal Bordetella vaccine (including parainfluenza and adenovirus-2) for broader and faster protection against common canine cough strains.

Note: While combination vaccines (DHPP/DAPP) include some protection, intranasal Bordetella offers quicker and more complete coverage.
