Well some people say it can go to humans but then the other people say it can't
I'm not sure
Cause i have a dog and my mom thinks "if that dog gets sick, it will get to us" but is that possible or no?

No, it basically isn't true.
There are very few diseases that humans can catch from dogs. Rabies is one, if you live in an area which is endemic - just get your dog vaccinated against it.
Humans and dogs do not share basic diseases - different immune systems. Your dog should be fleaed and wormed for its own sake, but you don't have much to worry about as far as contracting illnesses from your dog goes. Basic hygiene (i.e clearing up poo, washing hands and not letting the dog lick your mouth) will save you from bacteria.

no it is not possible for a dog or any pet to pass on common animal ails. however rabies and hoof and mouth decease and some really bad ones can be passed like tapeworm ,anthrax.but not everything is transmittable. in some cases chiwawa dogs can make a person feel better when asthma strikes. definitively the answer is NO

flow out. you're RENTING this place. Does your boyfriend no longer comprehend that whoever has signed the hire would be financially in charge for the wear and tear this dogs has completed to the carpet, the carpet pad, and doubtless even the floor below? I specific desire you probably did no longer sign the hire, or no less than that his call is likewise on it. Get out of there. he's a lazy slob, this is the only reason he hasn't dealt with this correct. The vet suggested each little thing advance into superb. He loves the dogs better than you. this is undesirable. call Animal administration on your way out the door.

It depends on what you're talking about as far as "sickness" certain canine diseases CAN be passed on to humans, but it isnt as though if Fido gets the sniffles you all suddenly have colds.
If your dog is properly vaccinated, there shouldnt be any concerns.

Some things that dogs get can be given to humans. But that usually things like parasites or zoonotic things. Good Luck.

Nonsense. Dogs and other animals have a different biological makeup then humans. I've never seen a dog blow his nose, nor wash his or her hands, so he or she should not be isololated because they have a dry nose.
