COVID-19 FAQS

Should I test my Pet for Covid-19?
THe CDC, USDA, AVMA and CVMA have not made any recommendations for companion animals to be routinely tested for COVID-19
CAN PETS TRANSMIT COVID-19 TO PEOPLE?
Currently, there is no evidence that animals can transmit this virus to people. Human-to-animal transmission events are believed to be rare.
IF MY PET IS SICK AND I THINK IT’S COVID-19, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
If your pet gets sick after contact with a person with COVID-19, DO NOT take your pet to the veterinary clinic yourself. Call your veterinarian to determine the next steps for your pet’s treatment and care.
IS THERE A TREATMENT FOR PETS INFECTED WITH COVID-19?
There is no specific treatment for animals diagnosed with a COVID-19 infection, so testing will not alter clinical management.
CAN MY VETERINARIAN TEST MY PET IF I WANT THEM TO?
Veterinarians are strongly encouraged to rule out other, more common causes of illness in animals before considering COVID-19 testing.
