What? Yes, dogs like humans have a Flu season partly because Human Viruses can be passed on to our lovely dogs. So if we are feeling unwell and breath all over our pets the viruses can pass on to our dogs just like if we breathed all over another human.
Dogs too get run down with the change of seasons and the lowering of the temperature particularly if their winter coat hasn’t come in properly yet.
So Here are some tips to keeping your dog well and healthy this Dog Flu Season:
• If your sick, don’t breath directly into the face of your dog
• Make sure your dog is dry before the evening starts to get cold.
• Ensure your dog is feed a really good diet. You can also supplement this with Vitamin C powder (Just like in humans this helps fight a cold)
• Take your dog to your Vet if it shows any signs of Coughing (particularly if there is any mucus discharge) or if you dog is abnormally tired
If your dog appears unwell at Paddington Pups we will phone you and make sure appropriate arrangements are made for the health and well being of your dog and all the dogs at Daycare.
