Some things
are meant to
go together.
If their lifestyle warrants Bordetella vaccination,
be sure to include canine influenza as well.
Is it influenza H3N8 or is it Bordetella? With similar risk factors and
often-indistinguishable clinical signs, it is difficult to tell what's causing
a dog's cough. Naive dogs have no natural immunity against flu,
which can lead to serious complications, such as pneumonia and
even death.1,2 And mingling with other dogs can increase the risk of
infection. So why chance vaccinating against one and not the other?
Fortunately, there's Nobivac® Canine Flu H3N8…
• First canine flu vaccine fully licensed by the USDA
• Proven safe and effective in over a million dogs

To add Nobivac Canine Flu H3N8 to your lifestyle vaccination
protocol, contact your Merck Animal Health sales
