This would depend on the cause. If both the dog and human are allergic to a particular pollen or mold and were both exposed, they could both develop "pink eye" even though one did not give it to the other. If the dog has bacterial pink eye, it is possible for the bacteria to be transferred to a human and cause pink eye in that person as well. However, if the cause is viral, traumatic, foreign body or cancer, humans would not be at risk for zoonotic infection from the dog.

∙ 13y agoYes it's possible. Pink eye (conjunctivitis) can be caused by bacteria or parasites, and there is bacteria and parasites in dogs feces. But, they usually do not cross contaminate to humans unless the dog has pink eye too, and not from licking its butt. You're more likely to get pink eye from not washing your hands after being around another person who has it. It's highly contagious. I'm referring to the redness and itching symptoms one assumes is pink eye.
