Can dogs catch a virus or cold from a human?
Is there any health condition that a human gets that are contagious to dogs? Common cold, flu, stomach virus, aids? I am not asking for any particular reason. A few us were just sitting around talking and someone coughed and then the dog coughed. So we just got to wondering if any of the above are contagious from human to dog. Thanks!!

i am not sure of the specific diseases that are transmibbable from humans to animals and vice versa, but I do know that the process is called zoonosis, and there are about 150 pathogens that can be spread back and forth.

nope, we are 2 different species and our bodies react differently to different things. dogs can pas on things such as ticks and flea's though.

viruses are species specific and won't transfer. a few bacterial infections may transfer but for the most common things you don't need to worry.
