at least 2 weeks

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

I;ve heard one week…

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.

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

My vet says at least a week. 14 days is better.

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.

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.

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.
