How Can I Protect My Dog
from Catching Dog Flu?

Vaccination Is Key

Dog Flu, or canine influenza virus, is a relatively new disease. This means it's very contagious because most dogs have not yet built up immunity. It's a respiratory infection that can be spread among dogs by coughing, sneezing, or nasal discharge.

Even if a dog isn't showing clinical signs of Dog Flu, the disease can spread simply by social contact such as nuzzling or licking. Dog Flu has been detected in nearly every state in the United States.

That's why it's so important that pet owners have their dogs vaccinated annually. The canine influenza vaccine can be easily administered in the same veterinary visit as your dog's Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccination.

Ask your pet's veterinarian about
Nobivac® Canine Flu Bivalent.

Vaccinating your dog with Nobivac is a safe and effective
way to protect against both strains of Dog Flu virus. A flu
vaccine is especially recommended for dogs who are at
higher risk because they're social with other dogs in places
like:

Boarding facilities
Doggie daycares
Agility competitions
Dog shows
Groomers

The first dose of the vaccine is administered under your
dog's skin and is followed by a booster 2-4 weeks
later. After this first set of vaccinations, your dog should
be revaccinated annually to stay immunized.^2. The vaccine
is safe to use on dogs 7 weeks of age or older.
