Frequently asked questions
Why is canine influenza common in shared dog environments?
Canine influenza can spread through respiratory droplets, close contact and contaminated surfaces, which makes exposure more likely where dogs spend time close together.
Can canine influenza symptoms look like other respiratory infections?
Yes. Coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, fever and low energy can overlap with other respiratory infections, which can make symptoms difficult to interpret from signs alone.
When is this test useful for dogs?
This test may be useful when a dog has respiratory symptoms after exposure to other dogs, or after time in kennels, shelters, dog parks, grooming facilities or shared dog environments.
