COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that primarily affects humans. While there have been a small number of reported cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection in animals, including cats, dogs, and ferrets, it is generally thought to be a disease that primarily affects humans.
There is no evidence to suggest that dogs or other domestic animals can transmit COVID-19 to humans. However, it is possible for animals to be infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus from close contact with an infected person, just as humans can transmit the virus to one another.
If you are concerned about the health of your dog or any other animal, it is important to contact a veterinarian for advice and treatment. They will be able to provide you with the most up-to-date information on how to care for your pet and protect them from illness.
