How often should a boarding dog be vaccinated?

Comprehensive answer, prevention tips, related terms, and key take-aways.

Most boarding facilities mandate a Bordetella booster every 6–12 months. Dogs in high-traffic settings (daycare, shows, agility trials) benefit from a 6-month schedule, especially if using intranasal or oral vaccines.

Key Take-Aways

  • Booster window 6–12 months per kennel policy.
  • Verify requirements before booking.
