Yes, it is possible for canines do get conjunctivitis or pink eye. However, it's important that it is diagnosed correctly. For example, a dog can display similar symptoms of conjunctivitis when a dog has irritants like sand or grit in their eye. If you suspect your dog may have it, definitely see a vet.

Pink eye is basically an eye infection. Dogs can get eye infections from a variety of reasons, just like humans can. Pink eye usually clears up without much care, and shouldn't be a problem. Although, if the eye is runny and the dog is coughing, it would be best to see a vet.
