Atlanta, Georgia Mar 26, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - As we are all feeling the impact of the coronavirus it is imperative that we not only do what's best for our own well being, but the well being of our furry friends. Dr. Shermaine Wilson Cox, the owner of Royal Paws and Purrs, based in the Atlanta area, would like to dispel some of the misinformation being spread regarding the vicious virus and its effect on our cuddly companions.
First and foremost, Dr. Shermaine would like all pet owners to know that your pet can not contract COVID19. While many animals, both wild and domestic, can contract a form of the coronavirus, it is specific to their species and not the same strain of coronavirus we see affecting humans. "Infectious disease experts and multiple international and domestic human and animal health organizations agree there is no evidence at this point to indicate that pets become ill with COVID-19.", states Dr. Shermaine. This idea that animals can contract COVID-19 and even spread is extremely dangerous and can lead to even more hysteria and misinformation. Furthermore, owners of pets should not be afraid to touch and interact with their pets. Especially since interactions with your pets can help ease tension and anxiety for you and them during this extremely stressful time. However, people should still heavily limit both their and their pets interact with the outside world.
For more information on the subject, make sure to consult with your local veterinary professional.
