How does a puppy catch a cold?
Causes include low temperature (weak thermoregulation lowers body heat and invites illness), high humidity (raises infection and skin-disease risk), direct contact with ice or cold water (sharp temperature drop), and prolonged cold-wind exposure causing colds or laryngitis. Keep it warm and use pet cold medicine if sneezing or runny nose appears.
