cold?

Hi.  We have a 7 month old puppy that is all up to date on shots and bordatella, etc.  I had to put her in a kennel while we were on vacation and since being home, her little nose is et a good deal and she is sneezing and making little sniffly noises from her nose.  She eats, drinks, plays and is fine.  But was just wondering if she has a little cold??  I'm not so much worried but curious.  I expect that if it is a virus, it will resolve and she'll be back to normal.

Ginger us correct and, to add, Bordatella vaccines do not necessarily cover everything a dog can catch when kenneled so it may have some virus.

As far as I know, dogs do not catch colds.
But there might be something else wrong. There is nothing wrong with a dog's nose being wet. But if she is snuffling, sneezing, coughing or breathing in a strange way it's best you check her out at the vet's. Dogs can sometimes get foreign bodies lodged in their noses, like a grass seed, etc.
