Infections very RARE: Per the World Health organization there is “no evidence that a dog, cat or any pet can transmit COVID-19." REF: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/coronavirus-and-pets-how-does-covid-19-impact-cats-dogs/ A small number of cats and 17-year-old Pomeranian have tested positive for COVID 19. There haven't been any spikes in respiratory diseases in dogs & cats recently.
