How does the Swine Flu virus survive?
The swine flu H1N1/09 virus survives as do all viruses, by invading a host to support it and do its work to reproduce. Viruses can not live without a host to infect.

Don't let flu viruses survive inside you, get a flu vaccination every year prior to flu season.

Can dogs get Flu?
Not the human flu, but dogs are susceptible to the canine version of colds and flu (which are caused by different things) The canine flu shows symptoms very close to kennel cough but they ARE NOT the same thing. The canine flu is almost the same as horse flu, and dog flu can be described as H3N8. many dogs recover within a few weeks on their own, beware that dogs may not show symptoms but are still contagious to other dogs. Humans and dogs can not transmit flu from each other, they are different strains.
