Reasons why dogs sneeze
If there are irritating smells such as aromatherapy and air fresheners around, the dog will sneeze and have a runny nose. Generally, the dog's symptoms will be relieved after 3-5 minutes of ventilation.

Because dogs’ noses are very sensitive, there are many smells that humans cannot detect, but dogs can feel them very keenly, such as the smell of formaldehyde in a newly renovated house. Some dogs find it difficult to accept and keep sneezing. There is also the smell of chili pepper, alcohol, perfume, etc. These may be the sources of irritation for dogs to keep sneezing.

If your dog develops sneezing, runny nose, lethargy, loss of appetite, and trembling after catching a cold, it is recommended to take timely measures to keep the dog warm and give him cold medication at the same time.
