Can a dog catch upper respiratory infection from human?

While it's possible for dogs to catch some respiratory infections, such as the flu or a cold, from humans, this is not very common. Dogs usually get respiratory infections from other dogs or from exposure to environmental toxins. Therefore, the chances of your dog catching an upper respiratory infection from you are very low. However, it is important to practice good hygiene and avoid close contact with your dog if you are feeling unwell, just to be on the safe side.
