Your Dog’s Health - The Virus

Can Dogs Get the Coronavirus?

Dogs can contract certain types of corona viruses, such as the canine respiratory corona virus, but the specific corona virus affecting people is believed not to be a threat to pets.

The World Health Organization reported that there have been no reported cases of corona virus in domestic animals. " At present, there is no evidence that a companion animal such as a dog or cat can be infected".

Despite this, Li Lanjuan, an epidemiologist and Representative of China's National Health Commission cautioned pet owners in China to be vigilant about theeir own health and the health of their pets. "If pets go out and have contact with an infected person, they have a chance to be infected.

The CDC says that "while this virus seems to have emerged from an animal source, it is now spreading from person -to-person."

How can dog owners protect pets from coronavirus?

The recommended approach for dog and cat owners in the U.S. continues to be vigilant and wash hands with soap and water after contact with any animal. For most dog owners this means a lot of washing.

Dogs do not need a face mask against the new coronavirus.

No need to panic, try a hospital-grade product which can be used in a garden home sprayer. The product is available through Pathogend of Georgia: pathogendga.com, Call 678-575-2889, Email: VinceB@PathogendGA.com
