Yes, pnemonia in dogs IS contagious, just like in people, but it can be treated with antibiotics.
My dog was boarding in the kennel and was admitted to the hospital there for having a fever and throwing up. When he came home he was doing the same thing. The vomiting continued and he became very ill. I took him back to the vet and he has been diagnosed with pneumonia. He was healthy at home, so is the pneumonia contagious?

Even at home he returned to vomit and act very sick. He has now been diagnosed with pneumonia since being boarded. Is pneumonia contagious?
