Coronavirus and your pet: What you need to know

We know your pet is an important member of your family and their health is a priority. At Moore Animal Hospital, we understand the concern and questions many of our clients have regarding their pet and how the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) could potentially impact them.

We felt it was important to connect with you, our loyal clients, to share information that can help put your mind at ease, and assure you we are staying on top of the emerging information as it becomes available.

While we are still learning much in regards to the virus, we are confident that human to pet or pet to human transmission of COVID-19 is not likely. Meaning, should there at some point be exposure to COVID-19, it is not possible for you to catch coronavirus from your pet or for your pet to transmit the virus to you.

As a matter of good health, we do urge you to follow   recommended sanitation and hygiene practices  any time you interact with a pet. For up to date information on COVID-19 and pets from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA),   click here .
