Canine influenza is an emerging threat to all dogs.

Canine influenza virus (CIV) has been confirmed in dogs across 38 states and the District of Columbia, and its prevalence is rising.¹ And because most dogs are naive to the virus, virtually every naive dog exposed will become infected.² Clinical signs associated with CIV can be confused with canine cough making accurate diagnosis difficult. Nobivac^® Canine Flu H3N8 — a killed virus vaccine from Merck Animal Health — is the first vaccine fully licensed by the USDA for canine influenza. It significantly decreases clinical signs of disease and reduces viral shedding.³³

This website offers important information on canine influenza, including information on diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. If you have specific questions about canine influenza or would like additional information about Nobivac^® Canine Flu H3N8, simply contact our Merck Animal Health professionals.
