Laguna Niguel, CA - According to Hong Kong’s Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, one's dog (or cat) cannot pass the coronavirus on to humans, although they can apparently test positive for a low level of the virus if they get it from their owner.
This was after a dog came back with a weak positive test for the virus after swabs were taken from the canine’s nose and mouth. This does not mean the dog that tested positive for the coronavirus actually had the disease. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) in Atlanta, dogs are not a source of COVID-19 infection and they don’t get sick, even though they may test weakly positive for the virus.
Some dog owners erroneously believe their dog has already been vaccinated against the corona virus because their immunization records say so. This is because there are many coronaviruses that cause a variety of illnesses in animals, including dogs.
This particular coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, is a new virus which is literally only a few months old. There is no vaccine available for humans and as per the information above, there is no evidence that dogs can actually become infected.
