Is the novel coronavirus from Wuhan a danger to your pet? No. There’s no evidence that the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) you’ve seen on the news can spread to pets. With canine and feline coronavirus, they can still exhibit flu-like symptoms, like coughing, sneezing or lethargy, that should be treated right away by one of our veterinarians. Is your pet ill? It’s wise to keep them apart from other animals or public places to reduce the risk of spreading the infection. bit.ly/3b9E2EG
