Rainier Veterinary Hospital is committed to keeping you informed about the recent cases of Avian Influenza A (H5N1), commonly known as Bird Flu, and its impact on pets in our region.

Investigations by state health authorities have connected recent Bird Flu cases to raw pet food diets. Affected pets had consumed products from two now-recalled lines:

▪️Northwest Naturals (Oregon)
▪️Monarch Raw Pet Food (California).

What Can You Do?
▪️ Bird Flu is highly pathogenic and can cause severe illness in pets. In many cases, symptoms progress rapidly and can be fatal.
▪️ We encourage pet owners to stay diligent, especially if your pet has had exposure to raw diets or sick/dead birds.
▪️ Monitor your pets for signs of illness and contact us immediately if you have concerns.

More information on the flu, prevention tips, and symptoms to watch for is included in the graphics. Your pet’s health and safety is our top priority. Stay vigilant.
