Uncompromising Safety and Efficacy
*The standardized method of evaluating efficacy of canine influenza vaccines is based on lung lobe consolidation.2
† Two doses of Nobivac® NXT Canine Flu H3N2 were administered to 8-week-old puppies, subcutaneously, 3 weeks apart. Clinical observations were recorded for 10 days post-challenge, and nasal swabs were collected for 10 consecutive days to determine viral shedding. Lungs were evaluated 10 days following challenge.

A field safety study proved Nobivac® NXT Canine Flu H3N2 to be well tolerated in a wide range of canine patients1
- 1,301 doses administered to 654 dogs of various breeds
- Dogs ranged in age from 8 weeks to 15 years
- Lethargy was the most common adverse event (1.6%)
Disease Information
Canine influenza virus (CIV) causes a respiratory infection in dogs that is also known as dog flu. The infection is very contagious to other dogs. Laboratory surveillance indicates the H3N2 strain of CIV as the critical strain of concern.1
Transmission
- Direct contact (licking, nuzzling)
- Indirect (coughing or sneezing)
- Contaminated surfaces such as food and water bowls, cages
- Human contact
Clinical Signs
- Coughing (dry or moist)
- Sneezing
- Fever
- Nasal discharge
- Lack of energy
- Loss of appetite
Risk Factors
- Dogs that come from shelters, rescue centers, breeding kennels, or pet stores
- Boarding at a kennel or doggie daycare
- Visiting groomers, dog parks, or engaging with other dogs
- Dogs that participate in events/competitions
- Dogs that travel
- Dogs of veterinary staff that may be exposed through contaminated fomites
- Sharing an elevator or other confined space with other dogs
