Country Joe 1,411 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Pup going into kennels, had to get him vaccinated for kennel cough, in the Vets 3 mins max, one scoosh up one nostril, signature in his vaccination certificate, took one min. £21 if i had the stuff, i could have done it myself, so you are paying top dollar for a signature, I bet you could purchase the bottle cheaper than £21. RIP OFF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Country Joe 1,411 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 The only reason I got it,because he is going into boarding kennels, and none will accept a dog without the vaccine certificate, with the amount of dogs owners that use kennels, it must be a nice wee earner for the vets, and the vaccine certificate only lasts 6 months, then if needing to be kennelled again, that's another £21.

B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Skip to 5min... She explains that the vaccine does not work... And is only used to deflect blame away from the boarding kennels etc... should the dog catch it... Check out some of her other videos... she seems to talk a lot of sense...

Country Joe 1,411 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) She speaks a lot of sense, ive had running dogs 45 years, and none of my dogs had kennel cough, ive never seen a dog with it. As she says, if your dog did contact it in the kennels, they would just say it was not from them, all dogs coming in are vaccinated, and like the lady says the vaccine does not work. I was told you could buy a whole bottle of the vaccine for a fiver, so the £21 is more or less for a small round sticker that the vet puts on your vaccination booklet and signs it. It would never happen, but if everone refused, the boarding kennels would soon change their minds. Edited January 9, 2014 by Country Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOPPER 1,809 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 the vaccine is useless theres so many variations of kennel cough it cant cover them all i just move the affected dog to my isolation kennel and dose it up with benylin a couple of days and were back to normal 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
