Veterinarians are sending out warnings regarding a highly contagious strain of dog flu and they are asking owners to get their dog a flu shot, as well as a booster.
Dogs stick their heads in some strange places and that can lead to the danger of canine friends picking up some nasty stuff that can make them sick.
Many dog owners are familiar with vaccines for things like parvovirus, distemper and rabies. But, when it comes to the flu, most are in the dark. "It’s going to be somewhat specific, based on region and what they are exposed to, but, generally, dogs exposed to a lot of other dogs, dogs in doggie day care, boarding, things like that," Dr. Fejes explained.
