Should You Vaccinate Your Dog Against The Dog Flu?
Did you know there is a flu virus called H3N8 that dogs can get?
H3N8 is also known as the dog flu and it is a variation of the horse flu. This flu virus was found in 2003 in the Greyhound racing community and has since spread to household dogs.
Veterinarians are urging pet owners to get their dogs vaccinated against the H3N8 virus. They say that anywhere from 8% to 10% of dogs that get sick from dog flu may die from it.
Remember, if your dog is sick you need to keep him away from healthy dogs so they do not catch whatever he's got, especially if it's the dog flu.
If you think your dog might be sick, but your vet's office is closed, you can find a pet emergency treatment center near you.
