Can My Dog Catch My Cold?

Being sick really stinks but having a sick puppy can be even worse.

So if you are sick, you may be asking yourself. Can my dog catch my cold?

According to the Berkshire Humane Society your dog can’t catch the following from you:

• Common cold
• Influenza
• Stomach flu
• Mononucleosis

They also go on to mention that most bacteria and virus are species specific. So no need to worry, the next time you ask yourself,”Can My Dog Catch My Cold?” you’ll know, they can’t!

One last thought about dogs and human colds. The next time your under the weather force yourself to bring your pup on a walk. Exercise (in moderation) is very good for colds.
