Veterinarians urge their pet owners to get their dogs vaccinated, especially if they frequent pet-populated areas like dog parks. They are also encouraging pet owners who live in apartment buildings to get their animals vaccinated as well. He said symptoms of canine influenza are similar to the flu. "I'm not going to lie, I mean I come in contact with other dogs without him being there."While Schetzle has already vaccinated Henry, Patino urges other dog owners to do the same.
