My dog has a cold.............................
As Rayven said, dogs do not get colds. I'll repeat it for you... they do NOT get colds. Kennel cough is a strong possibility, although with that there is usually some discharge from the nose not dryness. Sneezing can be caused by allergies. Coughing can also be caused by heart murmurs. Vets may not be involved now but they NEED to be. It's called responsible dog ownership.
My dog has a cold tongue?

How do I know when it's too cold for my dog?
When you feel cold, your dog will feel cold. Your dog does have a coat, but it isn’t enough to protect them from freezing weather. Try this for a rule of thumb. If you would be cold outside in your shirtsleeves, your dog will be too cold outside. If it is below 40 degrees F my dogs only go out briefly to potty and then they come back in. Some large dogs with heavier coats would be Ok in colder temperatures as long as it is above freezing, but dogs that are smaller, older, have thin coats, or health problems should not be left outside in cold or hot weather. So, go outside with no coat. If you feel cold, don’t leave your dog out there. Some people go to elaborate lengths to have doghouses with heat and insulation, but then they are still leaving their dog outside alone. At the very least, your dog will be lonely if left out alone too long. I have dogs because I enjoy their company. I don’t want to leave them outside by themselves and too many things can happen to an animal left out alone.
Can I spread my cold to my dog?
Nope. There are lots of parasites (roundworm, hookworm), fungal infections (ringworm), bacterial infections (bubonic plague!, campylobacter) and amoeba/single cell infections (giardia) that you and your dog can pass to each other, but a cold isn't one of them. Viruses generally thrive in only one type of host; dog viruses can't survive in humans, and human viruses can't survive in dogs.The biggest exception to this rule is rabies, which is why it is vital to your dog's health to get him vaccinated. Humans can be treated for rabies, but is inevitability fatal in dogs once symptoms appear.
Is my dog sick? She has a cold nose and paws?

What causes my dog's nose to be cold and dry?
•Dogs produces nasal secretions to regulate their body temperature.•Dogs sweat through their Nose and Paw pads.•If the dog is hot then it will have dry nose which is normal.•Sometimes when the nose is dry they lick their nose.•If the body of the dog is too hot ,Nose dripping is more and lazy to get up it means your dog might have the fever.This is Bruno .This picture was taken when he had fever. He had runny nose (normally it would be just wet).
Why does my dog have cold ears?
Does the dog have short hair? My dog Bruno get very cold ears mainly in the cooler weather. I think it’s because he hardly has any hair on his chest and is a short hair dog. My other dogs, who have a hell of a lot of hair are not bothered like he is.
My dog has a cold dry nose. Do l need to worry?
I would not worry. If it has been cold outside, and your dog has recently been outside, then that is probably why. Dogs noses can be dry for a bit without it meaning anything. If his nose stays dry for a long period of time, it may be the precursor to some illness, or a sign he is dehydrated. Nothing serious will come from a cold, dry nose on its own. Just be sure he is eating regularly, drinking plenty of water, and does not seem lothargic, does not have a cough or is sneezing excessively, and seems to be acting however is generally normal for your dog. I appreciate you being a caring, concerned owner, and it's always good to double check with little changes, but in this case, you have nothing to worry about. It makes me happy that you would have concern, though.Keep up being a great dog-parent!
