Vaccinations For Dog

Canine influenza H3N8 is a non-core vaccine.  This is a relatively new vaccine for dogs. The influenza virus causes flu-like symptoms in dogs and is very contagious.  This influenza virus was originally just a problem for equines.  Symptoms can range from very mild to development of pneumonia.  Animal shelters, kennels, dog parks, boarding facilities, and even dog shows have higher incident rates for canine influenza H3N8 because of the number of dogs in these environments.
