HOW TO KEEP YOUR DOG FROM CATCHING THE FLU

CAN MY DOG REALLY GET THE FLU?

I had NO idea that dogs could catch the flu; but apparently it's quite common. What can you do for your pup?

• Avoid dog parks if there is a break out in your area.
• Get your dog a flu shot...yes..they make them for dogs but not all vets offer them.
• Take your dog to the vet. If your dog does have the flu, you want to keep them away from other pets for at least 21 days.

• You and your dog can't get the same flu...so don't feel guilty if you've been sick and suddenly your dog is sick too.
• Note that older dogs have a greater chance for getting sick.
• For more details, talk to you vet.
