What causes dogs to sneeze?
Dogs sneezing may be caused by irritating smells around them, catching a cold, or suffering from viral diseases. First of all, if there are items with pungent odors such as perfume, air fresheners, and fragrances around, it will cause your dog to sneeze. At this time, it is recommended that the owner move the dog to a ventilated place. Generally, the dog will return to normal in about 3-5 minutes.

When dogs catch a cold, they will sneeze and have a runny nose. Finally, dogs may also experience the above symptoms after being infected with the virus, so it is recommended to consult a doctor.
