Press release
The virus responsible for Covid-19 has been detected in a pet dog in the UK. ![]() The UK’s Chief Veterinary Officer has confirmed that the virus responsible for Covid-19 has been detected in a pet dog in the UK. The infection was confirmed following tests at the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) laboratory in Weybridge on 3 November. The dog is now recovering at home. All available evidence suggests that the dog contracted the coronavirus from its owners who had previously tested positive for Covid-19. There is no evidence to suggest that the animal was involved in the transmission of the disease to its owners or that pets or other domestic animals are able to transmit the virus to people. The advice from UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is for people to wash their hands regularly, including before and after contact with animals. Chief Veterinary Officer Christine Middlemiss said:
Dr Katherine Russell, Consultant Medical Epidemiologist at UKHSA, said:
Pet owners can access the latest government guidance on how to continue to care for their animals during the Covid-19 pandemic. The case has been reported to the World Organisation for Animal Health in line with international commitments. There have been a very small number of confirmed cases in pets in other countries in Europe, North America and Asia.
