That vaccine is only good for a few of the most common causes of Kennel Cough.
If you are determined to get it, it should be given at least 2 weeks before going to a kennel. Bear in mind that the vaccine itself is only good for about 6 months.
As a rescue person, I have not given my dogs this shot. I've had puppies who had kennel cough. My dogs got it and got over it in about 3 weeks with no treatment at all. The next time that a dog with Kennel Cough came, my dogs did not get it. To me, the vaccine is a waste. Kennel Cough is nothing more that a cold.

i could if I deliberate on boarding my canines. Mine have been given a kennel settee vaccination in 2009, as there became a small threat human beings having to board her for some days, yet i did not get her any in 2010 when you consider that my mom and father now come and seem after her and something of the group if we are away for a couple of minutes. Many kennels with not soak up a canines except that's been vaccinated against kennel settee.

The vaccine is a live virus that is shot up into the nasel cavities. It is contagious for up to 3 weeks. Some kennels will not let you board the dog if he's had it within 3 weeks before he's due to board. Others require it within weeks before boarding. I agree with the kennels that won't let the dog board if they've had the vaccine in the last 3 weeks. As I stated, it's a live virus vaccine and is contagious to those who have not been vaccinated.

most vets tell you at least a month before but even then they cannot garuntee the dog not catching it but it does cut down the risks more than them not having it. my dogs had it{kennel cough} last year even though they never go into kennels they caught it from a dog they played with. if you are thinking of showing your dog i would highly recommend you give it 2 weeks before the show season starts.

At least four days.
It takes 4 days to generate a solid immune response after intranasal vaccination so it is best if vaccination is given at least 4 days prior to the exposure. Some dogs will have some sneezing or nasal discharge in the week following intranasal vaccination. As a general rule, nasal vaccination provides faster immunity than injectable vaccination.

KC vacs last 6 mos and usually all shots/vaccines have to be given at least 7-10 days b4 boarding, not the day b4. I buy the Intranasal KC vaccine and give them myself every 6 mos.

At least a week before you board the dog. This way it give your dog time to build up some immunities.

How often or how soon?
A couple days prior to the kennel stay should suffice.
