We all try hard not to get the flu each year, and we try earnestly to wash our hands and get our flu shots etc.

Poor dogs though, they are left to their owners discretion of whether or not they are protected from the flu.

Apparently 2 NEW strains of a flu has been found in WA State (on the West side)

With all the rescue groups transferring pets from back and forth to find forever homes, I'm sure the risk is great that this can spread. So watch your pet and make sure it's up-to-date- on all vaccines etc. And call your vet if you suspect your furry friend has contracted something!
