How can you protect your cats and dogs during the current bird flu outbreak? AMC's Dr. Ann Hohanhaus suggests that pet owners:

🦆 Be aware that dogs or cats could catch bird flu when hunting or investigating a bird carcass since direct infection can occur from exposure to saliva, mucous, or feces from infected birds.
🐓 Avoid raw poultry diets as they are a risk for your pet. Beef is also a concern since cattle can become infected.
🐶🐱 Take precautions for both dogs and cats, even though dogs appear to be less likely to contract the disease than cats.
