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.
Canine influenza is transmitted by direct contact with an infected dog or by contact with contaminated surfaces, leashes, muzzles, food and water bowls or other equipment. Infected dogs that cough, bark or sneeze can aerosolize the virus (meaning particles disperse into the air), so other dogs may inhale it when they breathe.
