Yes, dogs can also get sexually transmitted diseases, called "transmissible canine venereal tumors (TVT)." This tumor is mainly transmitted through natural mating, and both male and female dogs are at high risk of developing TVT. In addition, other dogs can also be infected by sniffing and licking the affected area. The tumors most commonly occur on the external genitalia of male dogs and the vaginal vestibule of female dogs.

Tip:

Canine transmissible venereal disease tumors will grow rapidly at their attachment sites, and the vascularized tumor tissue masses are fragile and will produce bloody secretions. Therefore, no matter where the primary site is, there is a common clinical feature of bleeding or serum-hemorrhagic secretions. This kind of active tumor cells are also transplanted into the nasal cavity and other parts through licking, so they will also show symptoms of nosebleeds and sneezing when stimulated to a certain extent.
