Canine Flu Vaccine - IMPORTANT!

Tweet

I work for a local animal clinic and have been hearing a lot about this vaccine. Yes, I know...some of you are laughing, saying "Even I don't get the flu vaccine, why would I get my dog one?" Believe me, I understand, as I was of the same mindset until I did my research on the facts. In some areas of the US, this is becoming a significant issue. Fact #1: 100% of dogs will get the flu if exposed There is no way to stop your dog from getting the flu...just like humans. Your dog will get the flu, even if he doesn't show the symptoms. Fact #2: Flu spreads mostly BEFORE symptoms appear So even if there's no sneezing, runny nose, coughing, etc....your dog or those around you, may have the canine flu. Fact #3: Flu does not kill, the bacteria does! As with humans, it is not the flu itself that kills, but rather the secondary infection(s) that result from it, such as pneumonia (the #1 killer). So why get the flu vaccine if it doesn't prevent the flu? Because it will SAVE YOUR DOG'S LIFE!!! While not all dogs will develop pneumonia, some will & that can be fatal. Even if you are lucky & able to treat it, your vet bill will be astronomical due to hospital care. Can you afford to take that risk??? Fact #4: The flu vaccine PREVENTS pneumonia! Therefore, keeping your dog healthy & home with you, suffering from no more than a bad cold. Still may require a vet visit, but your cost will be minimal in comparision to treating pneumonia or some other serious disease. PLEASE, PLEASE PROTECT YOUR DOG!
