Vaccines
​
-
Rabies
-
Distemper combo (distemper, hepatitis/adenovirus, parvovirus, +/- parainfluenza*)
-
Leptospirosis
-
Bordetella +/- parainfluenza*
-
Optional: Influenza (canine flu)
​
*Please note: Parainfluenza is required, but may be given as part of the distemper combo or in combination with bordetella. No vaccine is fully protective for kennel cough however, vaccination for bordetella and parainfluenza greatly reduces the chance of infection and reduces the severity of disease in pets that contract kennel cough.
