Key points to remember are:
• Keep your animal in your bubble
• Do not let your dog mix with any other dogs that are not in your bubble & if outside ideally use a lead
• Do not let strangers touch your dog when out and about
• Keep you cats closer to home
If you become unwell or with ill with COVID -19, do not panic about infecting your animals…
• Practice good hand hygiene around your animals
• Wash your hands before you feed or touch your pets
• You can still hug and love your animals; kiwis love their pets and animals are good for us but…
• We would recommend that you Do NOT sneeze in your environment without sneezing into
a tissue, towel or face mask and wash your hands/ face with soap and water afterwards.
• In our opinion the key in a pandemic is to reduce all environmental risks, reduce airborne virus particles which will in turn reduce your risk of transmission to other members in your household including your pets.
