In general no, although there are some instances of reverse zoonoses. Probably the most concerning one is MRSA, or methicillin-resistent Staphylococcus aureus, a nasty skin and nose infection that can be extremely difficult to treat. An infected human can pass that infection on to the family dogs, or cats.

There are several dozen zoonotic diseases, which are diseases that are passed from animals to humans. Of these, probably the single most important disease concerning dogs is rabies.

There are other diseases, but none as common or devastating as rabies.

kennel cough is the most common, but they can also get colds (runny noses, lack of energy)

some are spread through the air - if a dog sneezes or something. A disease like rabies can not be spread unless there is bleeding.
