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.
