Veterinary Physiologist Question:

To answer this question let’s first define pink eye. Pink eye is a very general term that simply means conjunctivitis, which is inflammation of the transparent membrane (conjunctiva) that lines the inside of the eyelid and covers the white part of your eyeball.

Dogs can get conjunctivitis due to a wide range of causes. So technically the answer is yes, dogs can get pink eye – which is just another name for conjunctivitis.
