Can dog get cold ?

You may recognize some of your own cold symptoms in the symptoms of colds in dogs.

Pets and people can share some illnesses but colds is not one of that because Dogs are not affected by the common cold virus that infects humans.
Likewise, you probably won’t catch a cold from your dog, but other dogs in the household or neighborhood could be at risk of contracting whatever virus is causing your dog’s cold, so play it safe and keep your dog away from other dogs until he is feeling better.

Some viruses are the common cause of cold in dogs just like humans.
Cold-like symptoms can also occur if your pet has another viral illness, such as canine flu or kennel cough. If your coughing dog sounds a little like a honking goose, kennel cough may be the cause of the symptoms.
most common place of transmission — kennels.At kennels and other places where large numbers of dogs congregate, it is easy for dogs to catch and transmit viruses.Kennel cough is treatable, and most dogs recover, but it can have more serious consequences in puppies and dogs with compromised immune systems.
Canine influenza may also cause many of the same symptoms as colds. The illness is very contagious. In fact, nearly all dogs exposed to it become infected, although only 80 percent show symptoms, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.
Are you worried that your pet’s cold symptoms may actually be caused by the coronavirus? Although some dogs have tested positive for the virus, the numbers are fairly low. Most dogs that were infected with the coronavirus had mild symptoms, and none were fatal, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Viruses aren’t the only causes of cold symptoms but it can also due to result of bacterial, parasitic infection such as heart worms and roundworms. Fungal infections and allergies can also cause cold-like symptoms and can lead to damage to the lung tissue and possibly pneumonia.

According to PetMD If your dog is showing signs of having a cold, we need to assess just how bad they feel.
If your dog is still eating and drinking and stays relatively active, it’s reasonable to try to ease their symptoms by using home remedies.
Encourage your dog to rest, drink, and eat so his immune system has the resources to fight off the infection. If necessary, wipe your dog’s eyes and nose with a warm, damp cloth to keep him comfortable.
To help ease your dog’s congestion, use a humidifier or keep your dog in the bathroom while you run a hot shower.
Do not give your dog over-the-counter cold remedies for humans without first consulting your veterinarian—they are dangerous when given to dogs.
If it appears to be more than a mild dog cold and they’re off their food, not drinking, obviously uncomfortable and/or having difficulty breathing, you should contact your vet straight away.
If your vet suspects it’s something serious, they’ll ask you about their dog flu or cold symptoms, do a full examination and may run some diagnostic tests to identify the cause of the problem. The recommended treatment will depend on the outcome of your vet’s diagnosis, but may include: antibiotics, cough suppressants and fluids.
