Contagious for Dogs, Costly to Your Business

“We had an outbreak of H3N2 canine influenza in our boarding facility and nearly every client dog–as many as 60–was sick.”

Michael Mayer, Owner of Hip Hounds Kennel, Round Rock, TX

"Dogs that are social or visit pet businesses, such as doggie day cares and boarding facilities, are at risk for infectious diseases, as are animal shelters and rescues. This was proven as a fact when an outbreak of canine influenza H3N2 hit the US in 2015; thousands of pets were affected, as were a number of the pet businesses that cared for them. Some of the impacted facilities, such as those shelters, kennels, groomers and daycares, were forced to close for weeks."
