Canine Influenza aka "Canine Flu"

 

​​​Any dog can be at risk for canine influenza regardless of sex, age or breed. However, certain activities can raise your dog’s risk. The more your dog socializes with other dogs, the higher the risk of contracting canine influenza.
 Does your dog?

• Visit doggie day care
• Board at a boarding facility or pet hotel
• Attend training classes
• Play at dog parks
• Participate in dog-friendly events
• Visit a groomer or the local pet store
• Often greet other dogs during walks

 
If you answered “YES” to one or more of these questions your dog is at a higher risk for canine influenza and we recommend vaccinating your dog.
