if i have a dog who does NOT have kennel cough and is given the kennel cough puff up the nose vaccine does she have to stay away from other dogs for any length of time? my vet never said anything about keeping her away from other dogs

I have never heard anyone say that the procedure had any limitations, so will be interested to watch any replies to this one.  :-)

Most boarding kennels will not accept dogs who have had the Kennel Cough vaccine within 14 days. The reason I understand is that it is a live vaccine and as such there is a chance that the disease could be passed on. It is a condition on some local authority boarding licenses.
As far as I am aware vets do not always tell clients this and I have never been told to isolate my dogs when they have received the vaccination.

when you say that it is a live vaccine , i understand that, but if your dog does NOT have kennel cough and is having the nasal vaccine as HOPEFULLY PREVENTING SAID DOG FROM GETTING THE COUGH or IF unfortunately they should get it, the dog should not get it so bad
when you say DISEASE?? i thought this was an airborne  thing not a disease
All i wanted to know is once vaccine is given to  CLEAR dog is the said dog not allowed to mix with other dogs for 14 days
i have always had my dogs vaccinated
for kennel cough and not once been told to keep them from other dogs, i understand that some kennels have different rules but mine dont ever get kenneled

My vet has said that dogs can get kennel cough from the vaccine so they only recommend it to people putting dogs in kennels or going to lots of shows. So I could see why it would be wise to avoid other dogs for a bit afterwards in case the dog did get it it from the vaccine so it won't infect others. I'v never had the vaccine with my girl so don't know if my vet advise to or not.

just been to see my vet who i quote said "no way can another dog catch kennel cough off your dog because you have had it vaccinated with the kennel cough vaccine"

>when you say DISEASE?? i thought this was an airborne  thing not a disease

Yes, 'kennel cough' is the name given to a group of infectious respiratory diseases; the vaccine is to reduce the chance of infection by the Bordetella bronchiseptica bacterium and the canine parainfluenza virus.

Vaccinations work by giving the dog a very small amount of the disease, the dogs immune system then fights  the disease and this gives the dog immunity if it comes into contact with the disease at a later date.
That is my limited understanding from what I have read.
Regarding your vets view I have friends who run boarding kennels who get very annoyed with vets who give the KC vaccine just before they are due to come in kennels, as under the terms of their license they can not accept dogs who have been given the vaccine within 14 days. They have had to turn people away and it has ruined their holiday. That is the only reason I mentioned it.
I don't know why Local Authorities impose restrictions about KC but it was presumably on other veterinary surgeons advice or possibly the BVA.
A lot of the rules and regulations re boarding kennels, dog training clubs etc.are very out of date as they still insist on annual boosters, when the core vaccinations according to the manufactures websites last at least three years, and from recent research considerably longer if not for life.
With regard to general socialisation of dogs I have never heard of any restrictions on dogs that have had the KC Vaccine or dogs catching it from a recently vaccinated dog, I merely mentioned the kennels as that was the most common restriction and it may be relevant to others who read the thread.

Hi ,you can find the facts here,  www.future-of-vaccination.co.uk  ,go to kennels and catteries then look at the kennel cough write up . Hope this helps  Miranda

fully understand that kennel cough vaccinartion needs to be given 10/14 days before a dog goes into boarding kennels, but i was told that because my bitch had been vaccinated AGAINST the kennel cough VIRUS ( not disease)  because i hope to keep this virus from her she couldnt mix with other dogs
Of this i just cant understand where this person was coming from especialy as i hope to show her at the weekend 6 days after her vaccination with i must say no side effects which i know some dogs can suffer from

This is a link WASVA which gives you a lot of information about vaccination.

This has been taken off the F-O-V website .........  ''The authorities in the UK will only license a product if the manufacturer has shown that there is no shedding of vaccine organisms after vaccination, or in case that shedding does occur, this does not result in problems for in-contact animals''  January 2013

So why do local authorities insist on boarding kennels not accepting dog that have been received KC during the previous 14 days ?

Have you got a link to the website please as I will pass it on to my friend.

The whole vaccination issue wants a complete overhaul, it is more to do with vets keeping their income than what is best interest of animals.

The kennel cough vaccine is not a legal requirement when boarding (all others are), most say its optional and up to individual kennels to choose whether they require it ,its up to the kennels ,but all good kennels do ask for it. But I cannot speak for every county council and their orders. Where you live it might be issued by the council, so your local kennels have to abide by it .
