It's hard to look into the big, sad eyes of a sick family member -- 
especially one that is four-legged and furry.
Even family pets are susceptible to the flu, but there are precautions to 
keep sickness at bay.

sure that other animals your pets come in contact with are vaccinated. And, 
unlike the human flu, pet illnesses happen year-round.
