The Canine Influenza vaccine is now being required by some boarding facilities for the holidays. Please read the information below to find out what Canine Inluenza is and whether your pet will need the vaccine.
What is Canine Influenza (CIV)?
Canine influenza virus (CIV) causes a respiratory infection in dogs that is often referred to as canine influenza or canine flu. CIV is a relatively new virus, so almost all dogs are susceptible to infection when they are newly exposed because they have not built up natural immunity. In the US, outbreaks of canine flu were first reported in 2004 and the virus has since spread across the country.
Similar to human flu, it is contagious. It is usually spread when dogs have direct contact (coughing, sneezing, facial licking) or indirect contact (contaminated bowls, leashes, collars, or the hands or clothing of people who handle ill dogs) in places such as dog parks, dog shows, boarding facilities, veterinary hospitals, and humane shelters.
It is important to recognize the signs of infection in both your dog and in other dogs that your pet may come into contact with. Most cases are mild and include signs such as a persistent cough, sneezing, runny nose, fever, loss of appetite, or a loss of energy. Some dogs may develop a more severe disease, which could develop into pneumonia.
Just as you take steps to protect yourself from the flu every year, it is also important to help protect your dog. Vaccines for canine flu have been developed to help protect dogs against this newly emerging disease. Much like the human flu vaccine, the canine flu vaccine does not guarantee your dog will not contract the flu virus; however, it has been shown to shorten the length of time your dog is sick, and the severity of symptoms.
If you would like more information on Canine Influenza (CIV) or the vaccine we are carrying, please call us here at Cornerstone Animal Hospital (512) 295-8100.
