Understanding Pets & COVID-19

“At this point, there is no evidence that companion animals can spread the virus”

**- Center for Disease Control
These are stressful times. It can be hard to know what news to trust, especially when it comes to our beloved pets. We at Michelson Found Animals trust health experts to lead us through the COVID-19 crisis and we encourage you to do the same.

Both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as the American Veterinary Medical Association have issued advisories saying there is no evidence that companion animals can spread the virus. Therefore, there is no justification in taking measures against companion animals which may compromise their welfare.

The CDC does recommend pet owners practice good hygiene. Just like your phone, shoes and purse, pets can pick up germs anywhere they go. Good pet hygiene practices include:

Washing your hands after interacting with or being around a pet
Regular baths for your pets
Wiping paws after walks outside
Reconsidering your pet smooches for a little while
