TOPLINE<\/h2>\n

KEY FACTS<\/h2>\n
\n

The domestic canine was tested for Covid-19 as a precautionary measure after its owners were confirmed positive for the disease, according to the Texas Animal Health Commission.<\/p>\n

The two-year-old dog, who lives in Tarrant County, remains healthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TAHC and CDC do not recommend routine Covid-19 testing for animals, but do recommend that pet owners with Covid-19 \u201cresist contact\u201d with their pets and other animals, including \u201cpetting, snuggling, being kissed or licked, and sharing food or sleeping in the same bed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pet owners with Covid-19 who need to care for their pet, should wear a mask and wash hands before and after animal interaction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Critical Quote<\/h2>\n

\u201cIf your pet is showing signs of a respiratory infection, consult with your veterinarian so they can assess the animal for common respiratory illnesses before looking into possible SARS-CoV-2 infection,\u201d a TAHC spokesperson told Forbes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Key Background<\/h2>\n

The Texas dog is the fifth canine in the U.S. to test positive for Covid-19\u2014the others were confirmed positive in June in New York and Georgia, according to the United States Department of Agriculture<\/a>. In addition to the dogs, five cats, one lion and one tiger have tested positive for the disease in the United States. In a study of domestic pets and Covid-19, researchers concluded dogs are less susceptible to the disease than cats and other animals, per Nature<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tangent<\/h2>\n

The researchers found ferrets to be highly susceptible to the disease, reports Nature<\/em><\/a>, which could make them promising subjects for vaccine and therapeutic testing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
