It is true that coronavirus can infect pets?

It is said that dogs can contract the virus, such as the canine respiratory coronavirus but this does not affect their health.

According to the World Small Animal Veterinary Association, “Currently there is limited evidence that companion animals can be infected with Sar-Cov-2 and no evidence that pet dogs or cats can be a source of infection to other animals or to humans. This is a rapidly evolving situation and information will be updated as it becomes available. Although there have not been reports of pets or other animals becoming sick with COVID-19 until we know more, pet owners should avoid contact with animals they are unfamiliar with and always wash their hands before and after they interact with animals.”
