The girls got their Canine Influenza vaccines today! This is a large outbreak that is posing threats to our dog's wellbeing. Many vets are now carrying the vaccines for a very affordable price. Please look into this and see if it is a good fit for you and your dogs! Particularly those who are young, old, frequent a doggy daycare or dog park, are going to be boarded, or are often in public (such as Service Dogs). Resources from the AVMA are posted below. If you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to share what I know so far, but please reach out to your vets if you think your dogs have contracted this virus!
