Dogs need to be isolated if they have a cold. Because dog colds are mostly caused by viral infections, they are highly contagious and are likely to infect other dogs or other animals. Therefore, once your dog is found to have a cold, it needs to be isolated immediately and treated with pet-specific cold medicine.

Precautions for dogs with colds:

1. Keep warm. Common colds in dogs are mostly caused by large temperature differences and coldness. It is necessary to keep warm. Do not let the dog sleep directly on the floor, and do not let it have the air conditioner blown frequently.

2. Replenish water. When your dog has a cold, you can give it more water or goat milk powder, and you can also give it some salt-free lean meat porridge.

3. Rest. When your dog is sick, you should reduce the frequency and time of going out and give your dog enough time to recover.

4. Eat a light diet. You can feed it high-nutrition, light dog food, and usually feed fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, which can help the dog recover faster.
