Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs. Dogs can and do contract pneumonia and it is a very serious condition. Dogs in general have difficulty in fighting off pneumonia and may die or sustain permanent lung damage. They may develop pneumonia as a result of a simple viral infection, that is, a cold, and many veterinarians prefer to treat colds with antibiotics, knowing that they will not affect the course of the primary infection but may prevent pneumonia resulting from a secondary bacterial infection.

Every animal with lungs can get pneumonia, from rats to birds to horses. However, it is recognized as a problem mostly in large production animals raised in herds like cattle and sheep.

Pneumonia is simply an infection of the lungs, specifically the small alveoli where gas exchange takes place between the inhaled air and the blood stream.
