With so many people sick with contagious ailments, many are asking, “Can my pet catch it too?”“Flu is seen year round in pets,” said Dr. Tony Malone of the Humane Society.Veterinarians say canine influenza mainly affects dogs and the signs are much like what you see in people.Dr. Malone listed “sneezing, coughing, nasal discharge, ocular discharge” as some of the signs.But that’s where the similarity end as the flu cannot be spread between people and pets.
