Bird Flu: What It Means for Your Dog

Hi Reader,

First off, I just want to say thank you. I received so many thoughtful and inspiring emails from all of you in response to my last email. It’s easy to feel like you’re shouting into the void when speaking out against oppression, but your support reminded me that we’re in this together.

Now, onto something important: bird flu and your dogs.

If you’ve been watching the news, you might have noticed how little information is available. That’s not an accident.

The Trump Administration has been quietly deleting scientific data, removing entire pages from government websites like the CDC, and restricting federal workers from sharing public health information.

Meanwhile, New York City has increased its bird flu surveillance in hospitals by testing for subtypes of Flu A and the UK and European Union ordered "prepandemic" vaccines for their citizens. These are indicators that the concern for bird flu becoming transmitted between humans is growing.

And here’s something almost no one is talking about: dogs can be infected with bird flu.

This doesn’t mean your dog can’t go outside or that you need to panic—but it's important to understand what can put your dog at risk. Just like with any other health risk, a few simple precautions can go a long way in keeping our pets safe.

I spent a lot of time researching this and put together practical tips to help. My blog post also includes a list of trusted sources, so you can see the data for yourself and explore them in more detail if you want:

Stay safe, stay informed, and give your pups an extra cuddle for me.

Take care,

P.S. Make sure you update your dog's microchip if it was registered with Save This Life because they suddenly shut down this month!
