What to do to protect your dog from coronavirus  

Even though there is no scientific confirmation for the transmission of the virus between humans and animals, you better stay away from your pet if you contracted the new coronavirus. Moreover, if you find out that your pet is actually sick you should restrict the contact with other pets and call your veterinarian. One of the most important things is to wash your hands before and after touching your beloved furry friend. Not just coronavirus can be spread between people and pets, but also other viruses such as salmonella and E.coli.

“Keep her home and away from dog parks, groomers, and playgroups to limit the spread to other dogs,” says Dr. Richardson. “There is no need to panic,” concludes Dr. Kuo. “The veterinary community is heavily involved with understanding this rapidly evolving situation and how it affects our pets.”
