Protecting Pets from Illness “…in addition to protecting their families, friends and neighbors from the spread of the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus, it’s important to remember to protect family pets from the illness, as well. People who are sick with H1N1 can spread the virus not only to humans, but to some animals (Ferrets, Turkeys, Pigs and nao Cats).”
