How can I protect my pet from COVID-19?

The risk that people with COVID-19 can spread the virus to pets is small. However, the CDC recommends that:

• Pet owners limit their pets' interaction with people outside of the household. 
• Keep cats indoors when possible.
• Keep dogs 6 feet away from others when taking them for a walk.
• Avoid places where a large number of people gather.
• Do not put a face mask or covering on your pets as it can harm them.
• Do not use chemical disinfectants on your pet.

If you believe your pet is sick or have any concerns, contact your veterinarian.
