Bordetella Every 6 Months. Schwartz, the bordetella vaccine for dogs consists of an initial vaccination as well as a booster to be administered every six months if needed. Most veterinarians recommend the bordetella vaccine be given every 6 months to maintain a high level of immunity for dogs who are often in social settings.
Some facilities will require your dog to be vaccinated every 6. Adult dogs should receive a booster dose of the bordetella vaccination every six to twelve months, depending on the dog's risk factors. Bordetella is a relatively mild vaccine, although some dogs get a respiratory reaction (like a cold) to it.
