Nobivac Respira Bb Vaccine for Dogs 10ml

Prescription Required (POM-V)

Nobivac Respira Bb for dogs is a prescription intranasal vaccine used to help protect dogs against Bordetella bronchiseptica, one of the key bacteria involved in kennel cough.

Kennel cough is a highly contagious respiratory disease. Dogs can pick it up in kennels, day-care, training classes, shows, parks and anywhere they mix closely with other dogs. Nobivac Respira Bb for dogs forms part of a wider kennel cough vaccination plan designed by your vet.

This product is supplied as a 25 mg/ml prolonged-release suspension for injection in a 10 ml pre-filled syringe for veterinary use.

Benefits of Nobivac Respira Bb for dogs

Nobivac Respira Bb for dogs offers several important benefits when included in a vet-advised vaccination schedule:

✔ Helps reduce the risk and severity of Bordetella bronchiseptica infection
✔ Supports protection against a major cause of kennel cough
✔ Intranasal route gives local immunity in the upper airways
✔ Rapid onset of protection compared with some injectable options
✔ Useful for dogs that regularly visit kennels, day-care or shows

When used correctly, Nobivac Respira Bb for dogs can help lower the chance of distressing coughing episodes and reduce spread between dogs.

How Nobivac Respira Bb for dogs works

Nobivac Respira Bb for dogs contains antigen from Bordetella bronchiseptica. After administration into the nose by a vet, the dog’s immune system recognises these antigens as foreign and starts to build targeted immunity.

Because the vaccine is given intranasally, it stimulates local immune defences in the lining of the upper respiratory tract. These local defences are important in responding quickly when a vaccinated dog later encounters Bordetella in real life.

Over time, this immune memory helps the body react faster and more effectively, so disease is less likely or is milder if it does occur.

Which dogs might need Nobivac Respira Bb

Your vet may recommend Nobivac Respira Bb for dogs if your dog:

• Is going into a boarding kennel or day-care facility

• Attends training classes, shows, agility or group walks

• Visits busy grooming salons or dog parks regularly

• Lives in a multi-dog household where infection could spread quickly

Even indoor dogs may benefit if they have frequent close contact with other dogs or attend vet clinics regularly for other reasons. Your vet will assess your dog’s lifestyle and local disease risk before advising whether Nobivac Respira Bb for dogs is appropriate.

How Nobivac Respira Bb for dogs is given

Nobivac Respira Bb for dogs is a veterinary-administered vaccine. It is not a product for owners to inject or instil themselves unless your vet has specifically trained and authorised you.

In practice, the vet will:

• Check your dog is healthy enough for vaccination

• Shake the pre-filled syringe well before use

• Administer the vaccine intranasally, usually into one or both nostrils as per the data sheet

• Record the date and product details in your dog’s clinical notes and vaccination card

Your vet will also advise if Nobivac Respira Bb for dogs should be given at the same visit as other vaccines, or separately.

Vaccination schedule and boosters

The exact schedule for Nobivac Respira Bb for dogs is set by your vet, based on:

• Your dog’s age and previous vaccination history

• Kennel or day-care entry requirements

• Local disease patterns and practice policy

Many kennels require dogs to have a current kennel cough vaccine, often given at least a few days before boarding to allow immunity to develop. Your vet will explain how often booster doses of Nobivac Respira Bb for dogs are needed to maintain protection.

It is important to follow the recommended booster schedule, as protection declines over time.
