| Summary: | •Astroviruses are a common cause of gastroenteritis in many species including man.•We sought to determine whether canine astrovirus is circulating in the UK.•Canine astrovirus was identified in four dogs with gastroenteritis.•Sequencing the capsid of each isolate identified significant genetic heterogeneity.•The first full genome sequence of canine astrovirus has also been determined. |
