Dog Flu: What Pet Owners Should Know from Dr. Fick, Local Veterinarian
Everybody is talking about the human flu, but what's the dog flu and should we be worried?
The flu can easily be described as an epidemic this year - there have been widespread outbreaks in every single state in the nation for the first time in over a decade. But, just as humans are susceptible, so are animals.
Time, Newsweek and the Washington Post have all done recent stories about the dog flu, so we wanted to get ahead of it. Thank you to Dr. Fick (who is our vet, too) from Grand Blanc Veterinary Hospital for coming in this morning to tell us pet owners what to look for.
Stay healthy, everybody!
