Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses. Some coronaviruses cause cold-like illnesses in people, while others cause illness in certain types of animals, such as cattle, camels, and bats. Some coronaviruses, such as canine and feline coronaviruses, infect only animals and do not infect humans. So we will also pay attention to all aspects of pets around people during this epidemic.
How can I prepare my pet for the COVID-19 pandemic?
-
Should quarantine be required, prepare your pet just as you would prepare your family. This includes stocking up on a 2-4 week supply of food, medications (don’t forget subscription medications), litter and otherr supplies. Learn more about pet safety in emergencies.
-
Make sure your pet’s medical records, vaccines, and preventative medications (tick, flea, internal parasites) are up to date in the event you cannot care for them and need to board your pet.
-
Practice good hygiene during interactions with your pet (wash hands before and after interacting with your pet; ensure your pet is kept well-groomed and is bathed on a weekly basis; regularly clean your pet’s food and water bowls, bedding material, and toys).
How can we maintain our pets’ health during the COVID-19 pandemic?
One of the best things we can do at this time is to keep ourselves mentally healthy so we provide our pets with a safe, secure environment – follow local health department guidelines to staying healthy and minimize spread of the disease. Go on walks while maintaining proper physical distancing, throw the ball in the yard, and play with cat toys.
What should I do whenmy pet seems to be displaying signs of COVID-19?
Should your dog or cat develop respiratory illness, remember that this (“kennel cough” and “cat flu”) is extremely common in dogs and cats, especially those that board, go to “doggy daycare,” or are acquired from shelter environments. There are more than 10 different viruses and bacteria that can cause these signs in dogs, including canine respiratory coronavirus, which only infects dogs.
Any pet that develops respiratory illness is much more likely to be infected with a dog or cat respiratory virus or bacteria (including coronaviruses that only infect dogs, such as canine respiratory coronavirus) than the novel COVID-19 coronavirus.
These dog and cat viruses do not cause infections in people. Please have your pet evaluated by a veterinarian if signs of runny nose/eyes, cough, or sneezing develop, and do not allow your pet to contact other animals in the meantime.
However, before taking these measures, we should keep a safer and healthier environment at first. For example, when you bathing your pet in the bathroom, the most disturbing part is to stop the pet hair from clogging the floor drain.
