Basic information
Canine brucellosis is a contagious bacterial infection caused by the bacterium, Brucella canis (B. canis). This bacterial infection is highly contagious between dogs. Infected dogs usually develop an infection of the reproductive system, or a sexually transmitted disease. Different species of Brucella infect sheep, goats, cattle, deer, elk, pigs, and other animals.
Cats seem to be resistant to infection with most strains of Brucella. Transmission between animals (including cats) is more likely if the dog is infected with Brucella suis.

How can I prevent my dog from getting Brucellosis?
Both males and females should be examined by a veterinarian and tested for diseases before breeding your dog. This involves a simple blood test. The breeding facility should test all new additions for brucellosis before bringing them into the facility. These dogs should also remain in isolation until a second negative test is obtained 4 to 6 weeks later. If you test positive for brucellosis, the dog should not be kept.
