What is the risk of my pet passing on COVID 19?

Expand

In theory, animals can carry COVID 19 on fur (if they are exposed to it) just like on other surfaces. Take additional precautions including the below to minimise risk.

  • Wash hands thoroughly and regularly
  • Keep yourself and your pet at a safe distance from others
  • Look into additional measure if displaying symptoms i.e Keeping cats indoors.

    Learn more about adopting a dog

    Every dog has their own personality and set of needs. Some are chilled out and laid back whilst others are energetic and playful; some love to meet new faces whilst others are a little shy. These unique personalities are what make dogs so wonderful, but they are also the reason why rehoming a dog requires a few more carefully considered steps.
