Current advice from the World Health Organisation and British Veterinary Association is that there’s no evidence that pets can be a source of infection or that they can become sick from COVID-19.

From the PDSA website: "The spread of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) has been widely covered in the news and will affect services throughout the UK. We’re doing our best to keep our Pet Hospitals and shops open and remain committed to providing services for poorly pets."
