“…However, we speculated that their data could have been somewhat limited with regard to determining the susceptibility of dogs to SARS-CoV-2. In addition, most pet owners care for their pets a lot and are concerned with the potential for their pets to be infected 13,14 . Therefore, in this carefully designed study, we aimed to demonstrate the pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 in dogs based on evaluation of multiple parameters, including clinical signs and blood parameters, and to compare the results with those from another human coronavirus, MERS-CoV.…”

The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in unprecedented challenges to healthcare worldwide. In particular, the anthroponotic transmission of human coronaviruses has become a common concern among pet owners. Here, we experimentally inoculated beagle dogs with SARS-CoV-2 or Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV to compare the viral susceptibility and pathogenicity. The dogs exhibited weight loss and increased body temperature and shed the viruses in nasal secretion, faeces, and urine. Mild interstitial pneumonia lesions were observed in the lung tissues of infected dogs. Additionally, clinical characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 infection, such as increased lactate dehydrogenase levels was observed in the current study.

“… 213 There is also concern that cats or dogs could transmit SARS‐CoV‐2, although there is no evidence for zoonotic transmission so far. 214 Thus, owners in some countries started to abandon their pets, however, fear of potential transmission from domestic cats is unnecessary without solid proof of risk. On the contrary, according to computational modeling, abandoning domestic cats actually might cause even more people to be infected overall.…”

“…Still, pet owners are concerned: 60% of U.S. veterinarians encountered owners that were worried about their pets having COVID‐19 213 .

Thus, owners in some countries started to abandon their pets, however, fear of potential transmission from domestic cats is unnecessary without solid proof of risk.…”

The latest outbreak of a coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID‐19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), evolved into a worldwide pandemic with massive effects on health, quality of life, and economy. Given the short period of time since the outbreak, there are several knowledge gaps on the comparative and zoonotic aspects of this new virus. Within the One Health concept, the current EAACI position paper dwells into the current knowledge on SARS‐CoV‐2’s receptors, symptoms, transmission routes for human and animals living in close vicinity to each other, usefulness of animal models to study this disease and management options to avoid intra‐ and interspecies transmission. Similar pandemics might appear unexpectedly and more frequently in the near future due to climate change, consumption of exotic foods and drinks, globe‐trotter travel possibilities, the growing world population, the decreasing production space, declining room for wildlife and free‐ranging animals, and the changed lifestyle including living very close to animals. Therefore, both the society and the health authorities need to be aware and well prepared for similar future situations, and research needs to focus on prevention and fast development of treatment options (medications, vaccines).

“…The effect of COVID‐19 pandemic on veterinary practice has not been yet well described in the literature. Regarding COVID‐19 in animals, there is sparse evidence of possible infections in companion animals such as cats 2,3 . Nevertheless, there is still no confirmation that zoonosis is contributing to pandemic in people.…”
