This course will discuss common transmissible diseases in dogs, including pathogens of CIRDC (canine infectious respiratory disease complex- including dog flu), Leptospirosis, Parvo, and Distemper. Following an overview of the incidence rate, participants will learn how to recognize the clinical signs of illness. Management of outbreaks in group environments such as kennels and doggie daycares and options for prevention, including vaccination and sanitation protocols will also be discussed.

To remain competitive in this market, pet professional businesses must keep their pet owners happy and this means keeping pets healthy. In 2016, leading experts on infectious disease developed a consensus statement to recommend best practices for pet care and safety for pet professional businesses such as kennels, veterinary facilities, doggie daycares, dog walkers, groomers, and training facilities. This course covers the topic of best practices of sanitation and prevention of infectious disease spread.

Dealing with infectious respiratory diseases in pets can be challenging for veterinarians and other pet professionals. Pets suffering from infectious respiratory disease create a source of stress for both pet owners and veterinarians. An outbreak of a respiratory pathogen is very disruptive to businesses involved with caring for groups of animals. This disruption of business has both direct financial impacts and indirect impacts that are associated with business disruption. Respiratory diseases also represent a serious health risk to our pets.
Many of the principals for preventing and limiting the spread of infectious respiratory diseases are similar in veterinary and human medicine. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has dominated the news cycles and disrupted the lives of everyone around the globe. With media focus placed on the hopes of developing an effective vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 virus, our veterinary clients have clearly seen the importance of vaccination as a tool for respiratory disease prevention.
The concepts and terminology associated with epidemiology relate to containing the spread of respiratory pathogens in dogs and other animals as well as in humans. Much of this terminology has now become a part of everyday conversation when discussing the COVID-19 pandemic. In this presentation, we will examine how the concepts and terminology associated with the discussions involving COVID-19 also apply to highly contagious respiratory pathogens in dogs, such as canine influenza.
