Laryngitis caused by a cold/flu is very uncommon in dogs. It is more often seen secondary to regurgitation, foreign bodies, bacterial infections. etc. More often, the cause of a "hoarse voice" in dogs is caused by laryngeal paralysis, not laryngitis. Laryngeal paralysis is a condition where the muscles or nerves of the larynx (voice box) no longer function properly. This can be an isolated problem or indicative of a more wide-spread problem with the nerves or muscles in the body. If your dog has a persistent change in the sound/tone of his or her voice, you should see a veterinarian. Your veterinarian can assess whether a more wide-spread problem exists. Additionally, dogs with laryngeal paralysis can develop problems breathing when the become excited or anxious.
Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx (vocal chords). It is less common in dogs than in humans, but in both species it can have many causes. Physical injury is one main cause, and that cannot be passed on. If it is caused by a micro-organism, then obviously that can be passed on.
yes they could and they could die of it this is pretty boy 2
Yes. Pharyngitis is simply inflammation of the pharynx, which is part of the throat. It can be caused by overuse, trauma, infection, auto-immune disease or even cancer.
Sadly yes. Dogs can develop the same kinds of cancer that people can.
Not directly. But I could catch a cold, which could cause laryngitis.
Of course you can. Laryngitis is a virus, noone is immune to any virus.
The most common form of laryngitis is caused by a virus, just like a cold. So, if you wanted to contract laryngitis, you would have to be around someone who has it. Laryngitis causes an extreme sore throat as well as other complication, so it isn't advised that you try to contract it.
usually laryngitis comes after a cold or other viral infection... usually upper respiritory associated with a common cold. You may have a sore throat with laryngitis, but the most common symptom is a hoarse or raspy voice, or loss of voice altogether. Laryngitis can last from 3 days to a week.

My cat has laryngitis too and we are going to take it to the vet and get the best answer from them.
Ho-oh lugia celebi(with a gameshark)
If you contract whatever disease he's got that caused the issue, yes.. also if you yell at him for too long, you may lose your voice =)
so the dogs can catch food
