Doggie flu ping
This dog flu is spreading in Wisconsin too. I read that elsewhere. Just a heads up.
Your dog does not need doggie playtime. He just needs you.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
You put large number of similar living things together and you get outbreaks.
My dog caught kennel cough at the dog park.
My wife and I were never sick until we put our little daughter in day care for a few months. During that time, we caught five of the three colds and flus that were going around.
Get your dogs out of government-run daycares.
our dogs don’t interact with other dogs, even when they have to go to the Vet he makes sure that dogs don’t touch the noses of other dogs. You just never know what they have, even when they appear healthy. This doggy flu is really scary stuff, heard many have died..keep our four legged friends safe!!
Without reading, I am getting on my soapbox.
I do not know why people need to put dogs in day care. It is a waste of money and time around going to work.
Once again, I sense people going hyper about animals and making them something they are not. It is really about what the HUMAN “needs” (i.e., wants) rather than the dog.
Train the dog to handle a normal whole day at work. They can do it. None of this stuff existed before some 15 years ago. You can bet not every dog owner had people at home for at least half the day at a dog’s beck & call.
It’s hard to have a puppy when working but it doesn’t last long. Most dogs are pretty durable and can handle a whole day. They are only neurotic if their owner projects it on them. Older dogs may need help, but most mature dogs should have no problem with a good 9 hour day.
I never had trouble with my Shepherds once they were conditioned and trained.
So, none of this spreading disease, or getting attacked by others, for them.
Maybe they should stop importing meat dogs from South Korea.

I’m shocked. Shocked.
