Why We Need The Flu Vaccine!

Hi again!

  We've got something pretty serious to talk about this week: The Flu virus! And why it's so important for us dogs to be vaccinated against it.

  Being sick is never fun! And the Dog Flu is very contagious! And it's easily spread by coughing, sneezing and even sharing things like food and toys! 

  So it's really easy to catch the Flu at places like a groomer,the dog park and especially boarding facilities.   

  Basically anywhere you hang out with other dogs, you're at risk!

   Here's a few reasons to get your Flu Vaccine:

• Most dogs have no natural immunity against the Flu virus
• You can't tell if a cough is a sign of the Flu or another infection like Bordetella (canine cough)

• By the time anyone realizes you might be sick, you've already most likely spread the virus 

  

   That's one of the reasons, here at he Hospital, we require you to have the Flu Vaccine when you check into our Boarding Facility or participate in Doggy Day Camp.

  So getting vaccinated against the Flu virus and being protected is really important to us and to you!


  So please have your Mom or Dad call us today and we'll make sure you're vaccinated and healthy and safe! Just the way we want you to be!

And besides, It's not like we can wash our paws and keep the germs away...
