COVID-19 seems to be on the rise with more cases registered every day all over the world. It is a pandemic taking over the globe by storm. We have made an article before addressing the issue and how it affects your pet.

If you have not read it, you can read it here.

Given the current rise in the number of cases, we feel it is important to address the issue here once again and give you information on recent updates. There are a lot of people still concerned as to whether pets can get the disease or not.

The prior information we had from the World Health Organization (WHO) indicated that pets can not be infected with the disease. However, they are currently investigating whether a pet can get affected given that several cases of pets were reported to be affected, and even a tiger.

A study on cats in Wuhan suggested that pets can be affected. However, WHO believes that animals don’t really play a role in the human transmission of the virus.

At the moment, there is no need to be alarmed as the numbers are good. There could be a lot of factors at play around the affected animals. But we are waiting for the official report from the World Health Organization at the moment of writing this article.

We will let you know what they found once they have concluded the investigation.

At the moment, we urge you to take precautions, stay at home, wash your hands and observe social distancing. There are some important tips we outlined here you can read.

One important thing to remember is that the virus can stay on surfaces like the fur of your pet. Don’t people pet your pets without washing their hands and always wash your hands after playing with your furry friend.

It is also good to also give your pet a bath once a day.

Just because there’s a virus out there doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with your pet. You just have to be careful and observe the necessary precautions.
