[[Vaccines - WikiBlood|Vaccines]] can prevent or reduce the severity of disease caused by ''B. bronchiseptica'', parainfluenza virus and adenovirus. Vaccinated animals can still contract the disease as multiple agents are implicated. Vaccines are available to be given systemically or intranasally. Intranasal vaccination provides mucosal [[Immunoglobulin A|IgA]] immunity and the presence of maternal antibodies are not a problem.

It is important to practice good husbandry in areas where groups of dogs mix e.g boarding kennels . Ideally all animals should be vaccinated, any infected animals should be isolated to minimise the spread to unaffected animals and all fomites that have come into contact with an affected animal must be disinfected. Areas should be kept well ventilated and ideally animals should be kept in low population densities.
