Flu Season for Dogs too!!

Flu Season has officially started and your pet may be at risk too! YEP, dogs can get the flu too!

Did you know that CIV is Canine influenza virus? All dogs can get CIV, some can get very sick and some may not show symptoms at all. CIV is highly contagious to other dogs just as human flu.

CIV can have the following signs, so watch for them this season

• Mild Fever
• Tiredness
• No Appetite
• Dry cough with some sputum
• Runny Nose

It's hard to imagine your dog having the flu since human's are so worried about flu themselves, but at Gerbeaux Dog Bakery we care about all animals and want you to be informed.

If your dog goes to Dog Parks, a kennel, to a Dog Spa or you walk him in a group - they are at bigger risk for CIV.  It is imperative that you at your Vet about CIV to make sure that your little one stays healthy. There is great treatment for CIV - so ask about it.
