Q2: What is the minimum age for vaccination?
Ans: The vaccine is indicated for healthy dogs and puppies starting at 3 weeks of age. Early administration helps support respiratory protection before exposure in shelters, breeding facilities, or multi-dog environments.

Ans: The vaccine is administered intranasally after reconstitution with sterile diluent. A 0.4 mL dose is delivered into one nostril using proper intranasal technique and must not be injected.
Q4: How many doses are required for initial protection?
Ans: The product labeling describes administration as a single intranasal dose. A veterinarian should determine revaccination frequency based on exposure risk, facility requirements, and current veterinary guidelines.
Q5: How quickly does the vaccine begin to work?
Ans: Intranasal vaccines stimulate local mucosal immunity in the respiratory tract. Protection against Bordetella bronchiseptica may begin within a few days, although the exact onset can vary; therefore, veterinary guidance should be followed.
