🐶🩺 Canine Influenza: Why Vaccination Matters 🩺🐶
Canine influenza (dog flu) is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can spread quickly anywhere dogs gather, including boarding facilities, grooming salons, dog parks, daycare centers, training classes, and veterinary clinics.
💨 Signs of canine influenza may include:
🐾 Persistent cough
🐾 Sneezing
🐾 Nasal discharge
🐾 Fever
🐾 Lethargy
🐾 Decreased appetite
While many dogs recover with supportive care, some can develop more serious complications such as pneumonia.
💉 Why vaccinate?
✅ Helps reduce the risk of infection
✅ Lessens the severity of illness if infection occurs
✅ Helps reduce the spread of the virus to other dogs
✅ Provides added protection for social and frequently boarded pets
Just like people can catch the flu, dogs can too! Vaccination is one of the best ways to help keep your furry family members healthy and protected.
🐕 If your dog regularly interacts with other dogs or visits boarding and grooming facilities, ask us if the canine influenza vaccine is right for them.
