The ethical justification for this is that this is a disease already present in the dog population, so this research would benefit more dogs than those sacrificed in the trial.

Same thing happens in Ebola research. Monkeys get Ebola same as humans, so vets justify giving Ebola to monkeys in the rationale than any vaccine developed would benefit the monkey population as a whole.

Edit: Believe me, it’s an ethical dilemma that keeps researchers up at night pondering. It’s one of the reasons I went into botany.
