Can colds from humans be transmitted to dogs? What’s the truth?
Can human colds be transmitted to dogs?
Because the CD molecules on the surface of human cells are different. The virus cannot enter the dog's body and use free nucleotides to assemble, mature, and be released.
In other words, influenza viruses of different species usually do not infect each other. For example, the occasional new avian influenza virus attracts attention because it can be transmitted from birds to humans (and reportedly pigs).
In view of the closer relationship between dogs and humans, if humans and dogs can be infected and sickened by a type of influenza virus together, it will be a major event in the history of epidemiology. So far, there is no data evidence that humans and dogs Can transmit influenza virus to each other.
So, people will not infect dogs after catching a cold, and dogs and other animals will not infect humans after catching a cold.
Can dogs catch colds and infect their owners?
If a dog catches a cold, the owner will worry about whether it will be transmitted to family members. Some pet experts explained: Except for some zoonotic infectious diseases such as rabies and toxoplasmosis, common diseases of the respiratory and digestive tracts of pets do not pose a threat to human health. Therefore, owners should not dislike their dogs when they have a cold. They should give their dogs more love and care, so that their dogs will get better faster!
