Poor Gracie, I hope she gets better quickly.

Another illness that is getting more prevalent is canine influenza. Last July, I got a notice from the business where I board my dogs, send them occasionally for daycare and grooming, and also went there for puppy classes. The also do training -- conformation, obedience, agility, flyball, etc. It's a great place, my dogs LOVE going there. They said they would no longer take dogs as clients that had not had the canine influenza vaccine.

Two weeks later, I got a letter from my vet saying the same thing. They will see dogs for vet visits that haven't had the vaccine, as long as you bring them in, stay for the appointment, and leave with them. But if you want to drop them off for pick up later, whether for check-ups, grooming, boarding, whatever, they now require the dog to have had the canine influenza vaccine.
