What to do if a dog has a cold?

Expert Answer

If the dog only has a mild cold, keep it warm and give it more water to speed metabolism and aid recovery. If clear cold symptoms appear, give some pet cold medicine.

During treatment, add nutrition and some vitamin-C-rich fruits and vegetables. If symptoms do not ease, take it to a vet promptly.
