See and hear what other pet care professionals have to say about canine influenza.

Pet Care Facilities Teleconference

In June 2011, a special teleconference brought together boarding facility directors from 10 geographically diverse states to learn more about canine influenza and the importance of vaccination from a panel of their peers.

What they learned increased their awareness of the risk that canine influenza posed to their clients and their facilities.

Before the teleconference: 17% of participants required canine influenza vaccination for their canine clients.

After the teleconference: 64% of participants said they intended to require or recommend canine influenza vaccination before allowing a dog to board with them.
