NO EVIDENCE DOGS GET COVID-19
These FAQs were last updated on March 12, 2020.
Can dogs get the new coronavirus (COVID-19)?
At this time, experts believe it is very unlikely. The World Health Organization currently advises that there is no evidence to suggest that dogs or cats can be infected with the new coronavirus. The OIE states there is no evidence that dogs play a role in the spread of this disease or that they become sick. The CDC also seconds that opinion, stating that, “At this time, there is no evidence that companion animals including pets can spread COVID-19.”
If experts believe it is unlikely for a dog to get COVID-19, how did a dog test “positive” in Hong Kong?
This canine patient was in close contact with an infected human, who was likely shedding large quantities of the virus. This led to the virus being in the dog’s nose. There is no indication that the dog is sick or showing any symptoms. Authorities say they will continue to quarantine and test the dog to evaluate if the canine patient becomes ill. In short, there was coronavirus on the dog just like there was coronavirus on the floor in the room but the dog was not infected or diseased.

Yes, I agree, we need to wait and see what new information surfaces about dogs actually becoming ill from COVID-19. There is lots of media on line about the first dong in Hong Kong that was quarantined that you mentioned (that was living with an infected woman), that say this dog happened to die after being released from quarantine after follow up tests being negative. But that dog was 17 years old and the dog’s parent did not allow for a post mortem test for the virus. Plus, there’s no reports that the dog suffered symptoms from the virus prior to dying. And we don’t know what this senior dog actually died from. Which was likely related to normal old age health issues or maybe in combination with the stress of being quarantined itself. Like, everything else regarding this novel virus, it’s a wait and see situation. But it’s a good sign, that with all of the humans contracting COVID-19 around the world, we are not hearing reports of dogs on mass becoming suddenly ill. Nevertheless, because the Coronavirus could be on a dog’s body for our own safety , it seems we should keep our dogs away from other dogs and people (that don’t live in the same house) as the veterinarian in the video recommends to avoid spreading it to people who touch the dogs.
