Can Dogs Get the Common Cold?

The answer is Yes !

Dogs don’t catch the common cold from humans but have their own set of viruses instead.

Dog Cold Symptoms may include:
Sneezing
Coughing
Runny or stuffy nose
Watery eyes
Fatigue or lethargy
Mild fever
Loss of appetite

Cold symptoms typically last between 5 and 10 days, and your dog should show steady signs of improvement.

Colds in dogs are typically caused by viruses and bacteria that affect the respiratory system.

Some common causes of dog colds include:

*Canine Adenovirus: A virus that can lead to respiratory and other infections in dogs.
*Canine Respiratory Coronavirus: Different from the coronavirus, this strain affects the respiratory system.
*Exposure to Infected Dogs
*Cold and damp can make dogs more susceptible to respiratory issues
*Dogs with compromised immune systems, such as puppies, senior dogs, or those with underlying health conditions, are more prone to catching colds.

The treatment for a dog cold is very similar to humans – plenty of rest, water, warmth, and humidity. As most dog cold symptoms are mild, there are lots of remedies you can do at home to keep your pup comfortable.

Make sure your dog gets ample rest

Staying hydrated will help with your dog’s recovery.
If you notice your dog isn’t drinking enough, consider offering them ice cubes or wetting their food to increase their fluid intake.

Ensure your dog is kept warm. Avoid bathing them as it can lead to chills and worsen their condition.

Using a humidifier in the room where your dog rests can provide relief.If you don’t have a humidifier,let your dog in the bathroom while you take a hot shower.

Offer easily digestible foods, dog-friendly probiotics, or wet food, which can be more appealing.

If your dog displays severe symptoms, like difficulty breathing, refusal to eat or drink, or seems to be in pain, seek veterinary advice immediately.

See You Soon Guys !

We travel with our dog and it is very important to know about the very best pet friendly hotels and services that are available wherever our destination may be.

I highly recommend to anyone traveling in this area.

David was polite, professional and stepped right up to the plate to assist us with an extraordinary request. He was flexible with his time and very compassionate.

From one business service to another I was very impressed with David and will be calling on his service if we are through that way again.

Koodos David ! Hoping you hear from more windsorites sometime soon.

‼️ Always titer first!

This isn’t anything new, but it’s good info as a refresher, or for those new to the holistic dog realm if you have to vaccinate your dog.

According to this report from 👨🏻‍⚕️ Dr. Ronald D. Schultz, Department of Pathobiological Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison, the average rabies vaccine provides a minimum duration of immunity (DOI) of 3 years based on challenge studies AND a DOI of 7 years based on serology.

🤩 This indicates that the vaccine can confer immunity for at least 3 years, and 🙌🏼 often up to 7 years or possibly a lifetime, providing the animal with a sufficient level of antibodies.

“Vaccination should not be considered an innocuous procedure, since vaccines may have harmful consequences to patients..”

🚨 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫: Distemper, Adenovirus, Parvo, Influenza, Coronavirus, Lepto, Lyme, Bordatella are NOT mandated by law, so you can opt out without any debate.

The protective antibody 🦠 level on a titer test for rabies in dogs is typically measured at 0.5 international units per milliliter (IU/mL) or higher. If your dogs results measure this or higher (>) there is absolutely no 🙅🏻‍♀️ need for you to revaccinate them at this time.

Oh, and side note: The 1 year rabies vaccine is the exact same as the 3 year. Always, always ask for the 3 year if they try to give the one year. It is allowed to give the 3 year as a first shot!
