How to treat a cold in dogs

The symptoms of a cold in dogs are similar to those in humans. If your dog is an adult, you can give it some Ganmao Ling granules. Consult your veterinarian about the dosage, and then give it some more water.

If it is a puppy, just give it half the normal amount of medicine for humans. Do not forget that your puppy’s cold must be treated quickly. Because when a puppy catches a cold, his body's immunity is very poor and he is easily infected with other diseases.

Warm Tips

Dogs have low immunity, so they should pay more attention to whether the indoor hygiene is clean. The kennel must be cleaned once a day, and no dirt such as feces and urine should be kept. Dog supplies (toys, food bowls, water bowls, etc.) must be disinfected and cleaned regularly. Pay attention to opening windows in the room for ventilation, which will help sterilize the air, and also pay attention to keeping the indoor temperature as constant as possible.
