Plain-English summary
A group of 52 dogs at a daycare facility experienced an outbreak of canine papillomavirus (CPV), with 13 dogs showing signs of infection. The daycare staff implemented measures like monitoring the dogs closely, keeping infected dogs away from others, and grouping healthy dogs together to prevent further spread. These actions likely helped control the outbreak and protect the remaining dogs from getting sick.

Abstract
This report describes an outbreak at a dog daycare facility where 13 of 52 dogs developed suspected canine papillomavirus (CPV) infection. Based on contact tracing, subclinical CPV shedding was speculated. Active surveillance, exclusion of animals with active or recent infection and cohort formation may have been effective in stopping the outbreak.
