Thanks for all the replies
I know how contagious kc is, my last boy came to us with it
but my concerns about giving Alfie the vaccine were around the fact that there are so many strains, that even with the vaccine he could still pick it up.
Penny what is kennel cough nosode? And when you say a minor ailment, how minor? I remember Gunnar was on meds for about 10 days and was coughing for about three weeks, but seemed to be lively enough. But then of course he was diagnosed with the heart murmur not too long after and I do wonder if the kc did bring it on.
Sorry for all the questions, I guess its cos Im not happy about putting Alfie in kennels full stop
Im very happy with the kennels, have been to view, they are spotless, the dogs look happy and the kennel maids seem to really enjoy their jobs and love the dogs. And they were recommended by a couple of people. Ive just never ever had to kennel a dog before. With three weeks to go Im getting myself worked up into a right tizz thinking about all the things that could go wrong, I know he will probably be as safe as houses and as happy as larry, just me being daft.
And to top it all it dawned on me last week he will be having his first birthday in there
