The coronavirus pandemic is said to be zoonotic – meaning that it can be transmitted from animals to humans and vice versa. But only bats and civet cats are known to be infected and carriers. This raises a question among pet owners whether their four-legged owners can get sick by the infection or not.

“All health organizations and veterinary organizations confirmed that there is no threat of getting the virus from your dogs, cats or other pets. Although they do continue to monitor and evaluate this, at this point interaction with your pets is fine,” says Brian Weltge, the President & CEO of the Humane Society of Greater Dayton.
