Causes of dog colds

Cold weather, large temperature differences between day and night, and failure to dry the coat in time after bathing can all easily cause dogs to catch colds. In fact, catching a cold in dogs is a very normal thing, just like catching a cold in us humans. The owner does not need to worry too much. As long as the dog is treated accordingly in time, it will be cured soon.

Symptoms of colds in dogs

Dogs will sneeze and have a runny nose. Dogs generally suffer from loss of appetite and are not interested in even their favorite foods. The dog likes to lie on the ground motionless, lacks energy, and does not want to play with its owner. The most obvious symptom is an increase in the dog's body temperature, which can be measured with a thermometer.
