Asthma is not contagious to humans or animals.

but dog can have Asthma

ANSWER

If both human and animal in the same house have asthma, I would start looking for a trigger for both of you. It sounds more environmental or quite the coincidence.

Asthma is not a communicable disease in humans or animals. However dogs can develop asthma at any age similar to humans. If you think your dog is suffering from asthma it would be wise to take them to your vet to be checked out to see if it is asthma or possibly Allergies. Either way these are both treatable conditions. Hope this helps!

Asthma is a disease that can affect both dogs and cats. It results in an obstruction of the airways when the bronchi (the air passages in the lungs) fill up with mucous and go into spasms (bronchoconstriction). It is far more common in cats than dogs. Asthma is more common in Siamese and Himalayan cat breeds.

No, but pets can trigger allergic asthma or other exacerbations of existing asthma. Many people have allergies to pets such as dogs and cats. Usually the cause of the allergy is the proteins in the animals' dander (dandruff), saliva, and urine. See related questions below for more information about dogs and allergies.<br>
