There is a canine influenza vaccine. But before rushing out to get it, does your dog really need it. There is a lot of controversy over the side effects and effectiveness of the vaccine as well as its necessity. Dogs that may have a problem with flu are those with pushed in faces such as pugs, bulldogs, boxers, Boston terriers and so on. Keeping your pet healthy with high quality food whether, raw, cooked or commercial, exercise, little stress and a vet checkup at least once a year is the best medicine for preventing disease.
