They can, but they may not show the same or all symptoms. A cold will not affect them the same way, the biggest problem is that they can give it to humans... and they are sneaky strep throat carriers too!

Do cats feel the cold the same as humans?

That depends on the size of the dog and how much fur it has. A small short-haired dog would probably be uncomfortable in the cold, but as much as a human with no coat. Of course, most animals would be very cold if they did not have enough protection and it was cold enough. A large dog such as a husky that has a lot of fur would probably not feel the cold at all.

What is the different between primary transfer and secondary transfer in human hair?

Primary and secondary transfer can occur with both humans and animals. Primary transfer occurs when a person's or animal's hair is lost or shed directly on to a surface (clothing, furniture, a car) Secondary transfer occurs when shed hair is "picked up" from its primary deposition site and transported to another location. An example of this can be if a dog sheds hair onto a couch because he was sitting there (primary transfer) and then a person sits on the couch, gets the dog hair on his clothes and goes home. The hair he collected on his clothes is shed in his car on the way home (secondary transfer). The dog was never in the car, but because of secondary transfer, its fur will be. This can help establish movement throughout a house or prove a person was at a certain location during the commission of a crime for forensic trace examiners.
