Just the usual annual vaccs and then most kennels will want you to have them done with Kennel Cough drops

Just the usual annual vaccs and kennel cough.
1 dose of both will satisfy the kennels within 12 months for annual jabs ...not sure about kennel cough, but, the kennel will advise...
There is a way of just doing jabs that cover for kennels, but, do not cover the dog for the illnesses ie 1 jab for going to kennels and not having the course of initial jabs and the yearly boosters which is kinda stupid really as the dog isnt protected and if there is something incubating in another dog in the kennels is leaving your dog open to catch it....not worth it at all! Plus your dog could end up being the carrier and making others sick....
But its good to get them arranged beforehand as there is a period of waiting before the kennel cough drops work..
When Poppy dog was going into kennels for any reason (usually only a week or 2 max)we would frontline her the day/night before going in to avoid her taking home any passengers of the tick/flea variety(from other inmates) and worm her on return....just extra precautions that might be worth considering as well.

You'd be better off contacting the Kennels that you are leaving your dogs with. They will keep you straight. Canine bronchitus ( kennel cough ) can easily be protected against. It is a nasal spray administered by the Vet. Split second and all over with. It is not a requirement with most boarding kennels but it lasts for 12 months and wiil protect your dog in all contact with other dogs.

Vacinations are renewed annually and your Vet will remind you when it is due.
