To prevent
transmission of the virus,
dogs infected with canine
flu, as well as other pets in the household, should be isolated for 4 weeks, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.
If your
dog has had a recent respiratory infection, be sure to keep him or her at home for at least four weeks to allow the
dog to recover fully and to minimize the risk
of spreading the infection to other
dogs.31 Be sure to clean and disinfect clothing, equipment, surfaces and hands after exposure to
dogs showing signs
of respiratory disease to prevent
transmission of infection to susceptible
dogs.26 In addition, routine cleaning
of your
dog's food and water bowls and toys with soap and water may help prevent the spread
of disease.26 Click here to see the label text for Nobivac ® Canine
