Canine colds and flus are similar to humans - they are caused by viruses excreted by infected dogs through their snot. Dogs get infected with a cold or flu virus when they inhale an infectious viral particle and it colonies their upper respiratory tract.
Domestic dogs do not catch the same type of cold that is common among humans, nor is a common human cold contagious to a dog, or vise versa. The "common cold" found in dogs is called kennel cough, a highly contagious upper respiratory infection which is common among dogs in shelters and kennels, hence the name. Common symptoms include coughing, sneezing, hacking, wheezing, and a runny nose with green or yellow mucus sometimes seeping from the nose or crusting around the eyes. As previously mentioned, kennel cough is highly contagious, however, if the symptoms are noticed and antibiotics are administered early on, your dog will be happy and healthy again in about 2-3 weeks.
a dog cant get a cold they actually get something called kennel cough, it is a bacteria.
