Can Dogs Catch a Cold?

9. Keep your dog away from other dogs

In order to prevent your dog’s cold from spreading to other dogs, prevent close interaction with other dogs. Keep them out of doggy daycares and away from dog parks for a week or two. If you have multiple dogs and only one is sick, avoid sharing water and food dishes, beds, or toys while sick. Once your dog is on the mend, clean any dishes, blankets, beds, or anything else they were in contact with while sick. This will help prevent repeat infections or spreading to any other dogs.
