Is it possible to catch a staph infection from my dog?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Staphyloccocal organisms are part of the normal skin flora of both man and beast. So if your dog has an infection treated properly and take precautions to avoid becoming infected, i.E wash your hands with soap and water.
