Animal Medical Center is now recommending the Canine H3N8 Influenza Vaccine to all healthy dogs 6 weeks or older. A booster vaccination is required 2-4 weeks later, then once yearly thereafter.
Dogs at risk for infection are those who:
- Come from a shelter, rescue center, breeding kennel, or pet store
- Board at a kennel or go to doggie daycare
- Attend group and obedience training or "dog kindergarten"/"puppy class"
- Visit a groomer, dog parks, or engage with other dogs on daily walks
- Enter dog events
- Come into contact with other dogs in the waiting room during visits to your veterinary clinic
