With Coronavirus spreading across the globe, life is seemingly changing by the minute for all of us. While many of us are anxious and worried, dog owners have the comfort of knowing there is no evidence our pets can spread COVID-19 or become infected by it. That fact comes from the World Health Organization.
Just because our pets are spared from COVID-19, doesn't mean life isn't changing for pet owners. Here are some things dog owners should keep in mind until coronavirus is no longer a threat.
What if I HAVE BEEN exposed to or have COVID-19 and I have a dog?
First, know that it's highly unlikely your dog will become sick, but as a precaution, limit your exposure to your pets. If possible, let another family member care for your dog. If that's not an option, limit your interaction with your dog and always wash your hands before and after touching and feeding your dog.

What if I HAVE NOT BEEN exposed to or have COVID-19 and I have a dog?
Even if you haven't been exposed to coronavirus, practice social distancing and handwashing when meeting with veterinarians, groomers, trainers and dog walkers. No hugs, high-fives or handshakes for now.

Coronavirus has changed our way of life for the time being. This will pass. In the meantime, your dog can be a dog. It's safe to walk your dog, let him play in the backyard, and take him for car rides. Just keep a safe distance from the other people you encounter along the way.
