The dog flu, or canine influenza virus, is an infectious respiratory disease caused by an influenza A virus, similar to the viral strains that cause influenza in people. There are two known strains of dog flu found in the United States: H3N8. H3N2.
The disease is highly contagious and is spread from dog to dog. Canine influenza has been reported in 30 states in the U.S. It spreads in the same way human flu spreads, through the air via respiratory secretions and by touching or drinking from contaminated objects, or by sharing leashes and bowls.
