The term “sick as a dog” doesn’t come from thin air. With the flu hitting us humans strong this winter, we know the struggle of being bed-ridden well. Cuddling a box of tissues, wishing that we eat anything other than saltines, ginger ale, and OJ. It’s no fun for anyone to have the flu, and that includes our animal counterparts.

Remember to wash your paws often, eat healthy, and stay home if you’re feeling under the weather.
