With the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) in New York on the rise, it is important to have the most up-to-date information about the disease and its potential impact on our families and community. COVID-19 is contagious for humans and, as of now, is understood to spread primarily from person to person. The WSAVA – World Small Animal Veterinary Association Global Veterinary Community—an association representing more than 200,000 veterinarians—states that there is no evidence that pet dogs or cats can be a source of infection to other animals or to humans. It is of course a rapidly evolving situation, and new information may emerge.
