Familiar with swine flu? What about canine flu?
There’s a new strain of influenza being tracked by vets around the country. And now, the first vaccine designed to protect your dog from the H3N8 virus has been approved by the federal government.
But is a flu shot the right choice for your dog? Vicki looks to Dr. Martha Smith of the Animal Rescue League of Boston for the answers.
The Secret Life of Animals is a celebration of our deep ties to the creatures around us. Its a show that seeks to unlock the wonder of the animals themselves, our mysterious bond with them, and our lives together: From breathtaking stories of survival in the wild to pragmatic tips on understanding our pets and keeping them healthy.
The mammal in charge is host Vicki Croke, who has been covering animal issues for more than 20 years on television, radio, and in print. Her entire career has been one big excuse to pat as many animals as possible.
