Canine Influenza

Canine influenza or dog flu is influenza occuring in canines. Caniine influenza is caused by varieties of Influenza virus A, such as equine influenza virus H3N8, which in 2003 was discovered to cause disease in dogs. Because of the lack of previous exposure to this virus, dogs have no natural immunity to this virus. Therefore, the disease is rapidly transmitted between individual dogs. Canine influenza may be endemic in some regional dog populations of the United States. It is a disease with a high morbidity but a low mortality.

Hiring a dog walker/pet sitter keeps your dogs at home in its own healthy safe environment.
