How to keep you & your dog safe from Coronavirus

At Embark, we take canine health very seriously. Below, please find advice for caring for your dog during the Coronavirus crisis. As this illness is still relatively new, recommended procedures can change quickly as we learn more. Please refer to the CDC website for the most up to date information.

Is my dog at risk for catching Coronavirus?

There has been a case of a Pomeranian in Hong Kong testing for a weak positive. It is owned by a person who contracted the virus. The World Health Organization reports that as of now, “there is no evidence that a dog, cat or any pet can transmit COVID-19.”

Can my dog spread Coronavirus to humans?

If you’re infected, you can transfer the virus to your dog’s fur if you are near them. Other people may be exposed to the virus if they pet a dog that’s been touched by someone affected by the virus. However, this is not a common way for the virus to spread. You should wash your hands thoroughly before and after petting any dogs. Do not pet dogs you do not know.

Should I stock up on dog food and medicine for my dog?

In case you have to quarantine yourself, you should prepare by buying anywhere from two weeks to a month’s supply of extra dog food and stocking up on any medicine your dog needs for the same amount of time. Call your veterinarian to discuss if a physical exam or blood work is required before a medication can be refilled. Even if you don’t have to go into quarantine, supply may be limited due to other pet owners preparing.

What other precautions should I take against Coronavirus with my dog?
Follow all the CDC guidelines for yourself, because you are much more likely to bring COVID-19 into your home than your pet is.
Start making a care plan for your pet with friends and family in case you become infected.

Do not abandon your dog because of COVID-19 concerns.
Avoid high-traffic areas like dog parks where social distancing is not possible.
Using paw wipes after they come in from outside is a good idea to halt the spread of germs.
