Sorry if this has been brought up before but I searched and couldn't find anything. Has anyone here given their yorkie the K9 Flu Shot? I just found out that Harley's day care is now requiring it for everyone. My husband will be going out of town the beginning of November so Harley will be going back to daycare. (I am out of the house at least 10 hours a day with work and work far enough away that I can't just come home to check in on Harley so he goes to daycare when DH is out of town) Can anyone give me any imput on this shot? Thanks!

I was at the vets office yesterday and they never mentioned a flu shot

I took my 5 new Biewers to have dew claws removed, tomorrow i will be going back with a new yorkie litter of 4 for tail docking & dc, so maybe i will ask about it.

Do you use the vet in Trigg? We use Skyline Animal Clinic in Hopkinsville, and they do have the shot in. I think the only reason I was actually notified about it is that the girls there know that Harley goes to daycare some and this is something that daycare is requiring (he goes to Skyline Pampered Pets for daycare and they are affiliated with the vets office). Congrats on the new puppies, are there pictures on your web site yet?

From what I have heard about it (very little) i would not get the shot. In our house, getting the shot usually creates more problems (reaction to the shot) than if we didn't get the shot.
