The only thing that is transmitted between dogs and humans are parasites, like worms and fleas, or rabies. You cannot catch a virus from your dog, and it cannot catch it from you because we are made of completely different DNA.

Yes anything humans can get dogs can get. My dog got a cold a while ago so yes he can catch your cold. Don't worry though when dogs get a cold they usually just sneeze quite a bit and maybe will puck once or twice. If you don't want him to get your cold handle him less he will be less likely to catch it.

Nope. Lucky dogs and other critters--they aren't affected by cold or flu viruses.

no. *most* diseaeses cannot cross between species in dogs and humans. A few can, but no the common cold.

Nope. Just like you can't catch your dog's cold. So feel free to snuggle up when you're feeling crappy :-)

No...their body temperature is higher. It will kill any human bug.
