To the best of my knowledge, no - I can't think of a viral respiratory illness in which the same virus infects both humans and dogs. Both humans and dogs can become sick with influenza, but the viruses are different (humans tend to get H1 and H2 versions while dogs currently have an H3N9 version running around).

Dogs do not get a "stomach virus" flu like people do so, if your dog is having vomiting and/or diarrhea, there is some other reason. Your dog needs to see his/her Veterinarian.


Can dogs transmit a virus to humans?

Yes, there have been a scattered few circumstances where that did happen. They were living closely with people with the flu, in the bed with them, etc. and caught the flu from them. A few cats and ferrets also have caught it from owners living very closely with them. The symptoms in dogs are similar to those in humans or in dogs with Bordetella (Kennel Cough) or canine flu (also going around). Veterinarians suggest staying away from pets, just like from people, while you are in the contagious stages of the flu.
