<\/span><\/h3>\nYes and no. Although dogs can contract the Coronavirus, the most common type of Coronavirus in dogs is the Canine Respiratory Coronavirus. The current outbreak of COVID-19 Coronavirus may affect your dog as your pup may have a positive result from the test, but this virus does not cause any threat to your pup’s life. Having said that, it is better to keep a distance from your dog in case you suspect having the virus or the symptoms.<\/p>\n
Many animals have resulted in positive in a COVID-19 test, but the disease is not believed to travel from animal-to-person. According to the World Health Organization, there is no proof or indication that your dog can spread the COVID-19 Coronavirus. However, in Hong Kong, a Pomeranian dog contracted Coronavirus from the owner who was suffering from the disease. For this reason, if you or any family member have symptoms of COVID-19, it is better to keep your Mastiff away from the infected person. This includes the infected person not feeding the pup, sharing food, kissing, petting, or playing with the dog.<\/p>\n
