Inactivated canine influenza virus H3N2 and H3N8 strains inducing protective antibody response. Does not prevent infection but reduces severity and shedding.
Two-dose primary series required. Recommended for dogs at high risk (boarding, shows, shelters). Mild injection site reactions possible.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for dog may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Why a species-specific page? Canine Influenza Vaccine pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in dog — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
