Canine influenza is a virus that attacks the respiratory tract of dogs. It's highly contagious, spreading from dog to dog via coughs, sneezes, barking, and saliva from toys and bowls. While canine influenza is not the same strain of influenza as human influenza and is not zoonotic (aka it cannot be transferred to humans), it's certainly spreading like wildfire in dogs across the country.

According to Newsweek, dog flu has been diagnosed across the United States and has even spread up into Canada.
