Yes there is a canine influenza out there but its not as wide spread or rampant as the media makes it to be. Basically if your dog gets a kennel cough vaccine (bordatella) he should get a CIV vaccine. Any dog traveling, kenneling, or showing should seriously consider adding canine influenza to their vaccine schedule otherwise it can be skipped. I hope everyone enjoys the holidays and Rachel thanks for promoting pitbulls, they are a wonderful breed with a bad rap! Thank you for not hyping up the canine influenza like the media has!

Since I own 2 retired racing greyhounds I keep a close eye on them and keep them up on their shots, especially the Bordatella. Another place that seems to be a place for this flu to spread is dog shows. If you go to one make sure you wipe the soles of your shoes with a disinfectant and wash your hands before you go home to your pet. That way you have less chance of spreading the flu. The greyhound kennels that had the flu did this and kept the flu under control. I have a friend whose dog got sick after being at a dog show. Vet said that is where the dog pick up the illness since dogs come from all over the country for a show it is easy for an illness to spread. Thank goodness it wasn't the flu but dog was ill for some time with a bad tummy. They have been saying the flu started with greyhounds.

When I went for a walk with one of my friends up in the foothill trails, we noticed a warning sign posted on the path.......I learned that along our foothills in the footpath parks...there is an outbreak of the PLAGUE! Yes, the original black plague is attacking the prairie dogs and there are warnings about walking your dog in the area! I was a little scared about it because I had wanted to take Snoopy on the trails but now I just keep him close to me and away from any kritters running around us. I just wanted to relay this information to anyone traveling out in our neck of the woods.........Be sure to READ UP on park warnings before taking your pet out into the wild. :) Rachael......I was also wondering if you could do a segment on dog chewies....maybe find us a good recipe for GREENIES???? Snoopy like to chew his treat and biscuits are usually gone in one bite. LOL Thanks for all the love!!! Kathleen Hi Rachael,
