No, it is not good for dogs, just like it is not good for people. However, few dogs have been diagnosed with this type of flu, and those that were survived like most people who had that form of flu survived. Dogs get very similar symptoms as do humans: cough, runny nose and sneezing are usually the first signs.

Although some dogs were found to have the H1N1/09 influenza during the 2009 pandemic, which they caught from their owners, influenza is not believed to be transmitted to humans from dogs.

Dogs also have a canine-specific influenza virus that they get and spread to other dogs, usually in kennels, dog shows and other places where dogs are in close contact with each other. People are not known to have had this virus. The symptoms are similar to the symptoms in humans. There is a vaccine that has been developed and was approved for use in 2009 to prevent flu in dogs. Ask your veterinarian for more information.
