They sure can!

yes dogs can get colds
you can give them baby tylenol or benadrl

yes they can, and it can get really bad, sneezing and wheezing are a definite sign of a cold or upper respiratory infection….make sure you take them to the vet if they do get these symptoms

yes they can. and they will be given anti-biotics from their vet

sure they can.any kind of animal can catch those things.

They can get cold viruses but our pets immune systems are much stronger than ours so they rarely do and their bodies fight it quickly.

yes, while dogs may not get the sniffles like we do, they can have respiratory infections and become sick just like humans. any mammal is able to contract viruses. this is why you should vaccinate your pets, it helps keep them safe and free from the most common types of illnesses to them. they are not the same strain of a virus humans get, but can be just as miserable and usually require veterinary care, just like we do a human doctor care.

please don’t listen to rockin, DO NOT give a dog or especially a cat tylenol. their stomachs cannont process the ingrediants in it and can lead to life threating gastric ulcers, especially if a small dog. rockin you need to find a new vet.

Yep. They get colds, flu, allergies, all that stuff.

Give your vet’s office a call and ask what they recommend. A phone call is free, and they’ll be able to guide you with dosage. Most of the time you can give over the counter medicines, but it’s best to ask first.

Hope your doggie feels better soon!

Dogs can get something called Kennel Cough which is highly contagious. Its when the dog starts to cough and sounds very painfull, it can lead to pneumonia in dogs and can be very serious.
Check out this website for more information.

Dogs do not in fact get colds.They have symptoms of a cold but most likely have a respitory infection or broncitis.The fever thing i’m not sure of.

Yes they can.

Dogs get upper respiratory infections, pneumonia, kennel cough (which sounds like bronchitis) eye infections etc.

Of course they can. My sisters dog used to get tonsillitis all the time. I had a dog who used to catch colds all the time. She had a sweater to wear outside, and was on antibiotics quite often. She also had several bouts of stomach flu. Dogs can get just about everything a human can get from a cold to diabetes to cancer. However, they usually don’t catch things from humans.

Yes, dogs definitely do get colds. Cold symptoms can be a sign of other more serious diseases as well so if your dog shows any signs of coughing or runny nose, lethargy, please get him to the vet. It may be a simple cold and in that case a brief run of antibiotics will help him fight it off.

Other people are correct that aspirin, baby aspirin and benadryl can be given to your pet, but the dosage depends on the weight of the animal. Call your vet to get the correct dosage or else it could make the dog sick.

Of course, the aspirin won’t help if it is a cold, only if he is in pain. Benadryl is normally only effective for allergic reactions such as itchy skin and rashes.

There is a disease called leptospirosis that dogs can get, it causes cold like symptoms at first but then is fatal to dogs. Your vet probably has a vaccine for it. Lepto can be passed to humans as well.

Best answer would be that if your dog ever has any symptoms of a cold to get him in to see the vet! You never know what it could be! And make sure to have him vaccinated against whatever your vet provides. Vaccinations are a GOOD thing!!

Yep.

If you have an immune system, you need to have it challenged periodically to keep it healthy and working optimally. Pets have their own set of “illnesses” that they experience in their lifetimes. Illnesses are necessary to grow and strengthen the immune system.

yes and somtimes by humans or than can get a thing called kenal cough which is normal caused by being around other dogs that are sick.
