kennel cough jabs/shots

do the jabs against kennel cough actually work do they stop your dog from getting it. if so does anyone know how long the jab lasts for. i know the jabs are no good after the dogs picked it up.

theres a shit load of kennel cough around my area and i was wondering if i got my vaccinated against it would the vaccine actually stop him getting it. or is it just a money making scam from my vet.

As far as I'm aware, there is no cure or prevention for kennel cough. A retired vet told me that. She said the only cure is rest and time. Most vets will take your money and give youre dog shots and tablets,but it still takes time to get over. As Swagboy said, you can give kids cough medicene to relieve the syptoms, but it won't cure it.

 

Cheers.

Yeah it's better than nowt but vet said they could still catch it so opted out and used benilyin 5ml 2x aday for a week.

It's annually I think,if you kennel your dogs if you go away most now ask for proof of the jab.

My pair got kennel cough last summer and they weren't jabbed against it - my mates's dogs got it at the same event and they were supposedly covered for it??? And to be honest one of them probably had it worse than mine. Rest, honey and lemon linctus seems par for the course.
