| It could be a lot of things, but my recommendation is get her to the vet for evaluation. There are some serious conditions that lead to sneezing and respiratory issues in a dog. |

| Several years ago a vet told me that dogs DON'T get colds. It could ve a bacterial or virus infection in which case the dog should see the vet as soon as possible. Or it could be that the dog is having a reaction to dust or lint getting in its nose; but the consequences of hoping it would go away on its own have a lot of down side and not much upside. |

Aurelio,
I agree take the dog to a good VET, more than likely your pup has some allergies. However it could be more serious, we recommend you find out from a professional.
all the best,
